New Hampshire senator John Sununu, who looks as though he is going to lose his re-election bid to Jeanne Shaheen as New Hampshire looks poised to turn a deeper shade of blue, it rumored to be one of the candidates for vice president that John McCain is looking at.
According to this article [...]
Here is a video I found on NHGOP. Senator Sununu faces a tough re-election battle in 2008. His Democrat opponent is most likely former Governor Jeanne Shaheen, the woman responsible for instituting a state wide property tax. Please remember this when going to the polls next November.
The senate reached a compromise on Thursday to extend the federal ban on internet taxes for another seven years. This is the longest extension of this ban so far. New Hampshire senator, John Sununu played a key role in getting this extension completed, although it didn’t go as far as he wanted. John Sununu wanted the ban to be permanent, but you know how Democrats are, they will never accept a permanent ban on taxing anything, they have to leave the door open to new taxes, especially if Hillary is elected president.
The New Hampshire Republican said yesterday he was set to force an up-or-down vote on a bill he co-sponsored calling for a permanent ban when leading Democrats approached him to bargain. He said that although the seven-year ban is not “optimum,” it is “the longest one we’ve ever had and nearly twice as long as the (four-year) ban passed by the House.
The bill now has to go before the house and be passed by more Democrats who are willing
Sununu is being blown away in New Hampshire.Even if Shaheen doesn't get into the race...Portsmouth Mayor Steve Marchand is only four points down, as is Katrina Swett and Jay Buckey is down 16, but his name recognition is nearly zero in New Hampshire.My prediction is Shaheen will get into the race and santorum Sununu, perhaps worse.
If only she would enter the race.Shaheen (D)- 56%Sununu (R)- 34%Talk about buyer's remorseSununu leads all other challengers, Portsmouth Mayor Steve Marchand, activist Katrina Swett, and Jay Buckey, but he's under 50% against all three.Sununu may very well be the Santorum of 2008 after all.
New Hampshire Senator John Sununu appeared on the Howie Carr show today.
Sen. Sununu is up for re-election in ‘08, and his seat is considered one of the most vulnerable by Democrat officials. Although, he feels pretty confident that New Hampshire will return Republicans back to state government now that New Hampshire is becoming a nanny state and voters may becoming discontent. If that is true it could help him win re-election.
Here is the audio.
Well, looks like Senator John Sununu (R-New Hampshire) has finally decided to try and save his skin by asking for the firing of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales over the attorney firing scandal.Sununu is perhaps the most vulnerable Senator in 2008. He won 51%-48% in a controversial campaign against Democrat Jeanne Shaheen in 2002, a Republican year, and he was the only vulnerable Republican to vote in favor of the troop surge.So far Sununu has yielded two Democratic challengers. Portsmouth Mayor Steve Marchant and Katrina Swett, the wife of former Democratic congerssman Dick Swett of New Hampshire and the daughter of Congressman Tom Lantos (D-California). Last year Republicans were slaughtered in New Hampshire, losing the Governor's race in a 74%-26% landslide, losing control of the Executive Council and the State Legislature for the first time in over a century, and seeing both GOP Congressmen defeated. Sununu must know if he was running for reeleciton in 2006, he would've went dow
