Today, almost 80 days after Hurricane Sandy ripped apart much of the Northeast, Congress has finally approved the full relief package. I am please to report that both Congresswoman Shea-Porter and Congresswoman Kuster voted for the relief bill. The bill passed today, the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, provides relief to families and businesses [...]

Democratic candidates nationally, statewide, and locally have it so over the Republican candidates in all these debates. Okay, I’m somewhat biased, but I think that an objective view might come to the same conclusion. In the final three days of this final week before Election Day, I’ve maxed out on debate-watching. But to me it [...]

For the past 25 years as an adoption attorney, I have witnessed the extraordinary courage and compassion of women – from age 14 to 40 – facing unplanned pregnancy. Not once did I believe that the government should interfere with their personal and private decision. In fact, I believe in less government interference in people’s [...]
Don’t Mess with Mother

Frank Guinta is so scared about his vote to destroy Medicare he went begging for mercy to the President of the United States. Not to be outdone, Charlie Bass suspends reality by claiming a voucher is not a voucher. What are these men so frightened of? Mothers. Carol Shea-Porter, (campaign email): I spent Mother’s Day [...]
Annie Kuster on the Lame Duck
In a letter to her campaign supporters: In the months since the election we’ve seen some steps of progress in Washington but also some troubling signs as well. Ending ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ and passing the New START treaty on were both important acheivements- but I was disappointed that congressional Republicans unanimously refused to [...]
Is Charlie Bass the Most Vulnerable House Republican?
By Dean Barker on December 29, 2010 in
Tags: Annie Kuster, Carol Shea Porter, Charlie Bass, Frank Guinta
The numbers say so. Roll Call has the DCCC’s target list for 2010. Out of all those hundreds of GOPers in the incoming House, they are starting out with a mere 32 of the most vulnerable, based on their winning percentage to Obama’s 2008 percentage in their district. Guess who made the list? Member or [...]
Not in Granite Status
Roll Call: Shea-Porter told Roll Call last week that she is considering another bid. And the New Hampshire Democratic Party said Kuster has already decided to run again. I think this might be the start of a new series.
Hometown Proud
Just want to point out that favorite son status was not extended to Charlie in his (and my) own home town.Charlie Bass – 1069Annie Kuster – 1633 It’s just that people know who’s who around here. By the way, Paul beat Kelly here by a wide margin as well. I’m proud of how we voted, [...]
Three Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy-Six
That’s how few votes the BassMaster squeaked by on. One lousy percentage point. On the same night Dems up and down the ballot were massacred in numbers that even this political junkie didn’t think would happen. It’s a sign to me that 6, 7, 12, 18 term Charlie (I can’t remember how long he’s been [...]
