PLEASE HELP: Democratic challenger to U.S. Rep. Jeb Bradley MISSING

Dayum!

John

That's kind of bold.

When he turns up he will already be one of them. They are putting in place the chips and devices to mind controll him.

He was suicided no doubt.

Wow. That sucks.

Man! Here in NYC we got these rats. Big rats. And you know, they get bolder and bolder when nothing happens to them. Like in the park. Used to just scurry away, but now? They'll just walk up to a family sunning themselves on their picnic blanket and start eating their food.

Reminds me of these Bushites. They've gotten positively brazen. Used to just rely on gremlin-related plane accidents and now?

Using the tactics they used on the microbiologists. Nothing happened to them then...and nothing will happen to them now.

No more bold than what they did to Wellstone, Rex.

maybe he turned libertarian

For those rats, you need to set out a treat for them, like corn meal mixed with patching plaster. Sure made a dent in their numbers here.

The basturds took him out!...kicking over garbage cans is one thing but this is going to far...

Corbin to manage Dodds Congressional campaign

By JAMES W. PINDELL
PoliticsNH.com

PORTSMOUTH, Dec. 6 - A former state representative who worked elect Congressman Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) then two years later considered challenging him will now manage a race for one of the 2006 Democratic candidates.

Corey Corbin, of Sandown, has signed on to be the campaign manager for Gary Dodds (D-Rye) in his campaign for Congress, PoliticsNH.com has learned.

The pair only met two weeks ago. A week later they were going over the details of his employment.

"We met and I was telling him that he needs to hire a campaign manager and what he should tell the manager to focus on," Corbin said. "Then after some time I stopped and said 'you know we can just cut the middle man and I can do it'."

In 2002, Corbin served as the Sandown chair for Bradley's first Congressional run. By 2003 he became a Democrat and endorsed Joe Lieberman's presidential campaign. Last year he ran unsuccessfully against for the State Senate against Sen. Jack Barnes (R-Raymond).

He said that after working on his own campaign and of many campaigns in Maine he has the experience to help Dodds, a virtual political newcomer.

Corbin said he will worked to correct some of the challenges Dodds's campaign faces like name recognition and fund-raising.

"I know that if by February you can't tell the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee] that you have $300,000 or $400,000 in the bank they aren't interested," Corbin said.

Dodds, a magazine executive and historical preservationist, is one of four people who have announced his bid for the First Congressional District nomination to challenge the Republican Bradley.

Dodds has opened an office and hired a small amount of staff and two interns. He already has an office in Portsmouth and is expected to open a second office on Elm Street in Manchester in the next few weeks.

Congressional Candidates for 2006: A Full List (Northeast)

by MrLiberal, Wed Aug 31, 2005 at 04:12:50 PM EST
(Crossposted from Dailykos.com)

Part 1 of 5-Covering New England and the Mid-Atlantic (down to Maryland)

First, I want to say that just like all of my fellow Kossacks I am shocked by the tragedy going on not just in New Orleans, but all along the Gulf Coast. I will hope for the best, but even the best case scenario seems tragic in the utmost. Right before Katrina struck, I wrote the following article:

I've put together this little compendium of Democratic candidates for Congress in 2006 in order to help facilitate volunteer and funding efforts in the right directions. I will list every candidate in the running, as anyone with the right efforts can prevail in most seats. Next to each candidate I've made a note with either OAR (Off and Running), LTR (Likely to Run) or STR (Speculative to Run). The number next to the seat name is the percentage the seat was won with in the last election. I hope this proves useful for everyone here. If you know of anyone else in the bidding for Congress (House or Senate), let us know here. Thanks!

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

A number of these seats will depend on who runs for Senator Corzine's seat in 2006. Should Corzine win in 2005, he will appoint his successor under New Jersey law. If he appoints one of the Congressmen (either Andrews or Menendez are most likely), then the rest are less likely to run (and probably none of them will). Should he appoint a "caretaker" Senator, most of the state's seven Democratic Congressmen (including Rush Holt and Steve Rothman) may take a shot at the seat. As a result, NJ-01, NJ-06 and NJ-13 only can be seen as having potential Democratic candidates at this time.

Well, that wraps up the Northeast candidate list of 2006 (for now). Three months from now I'll update it again to see what's changed. I'll also mark which candidates are ahead of the pack and which seats are considered competitive by the insiders. Next week, we'll go to the Midwest (WV as well) to see what's up in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri. See you there!

I like Jean Hay Bright. (none / 0)

But she is in serious need of professional assistance when it comes to her webpage.

When you say that she's a "frequent candidate," do you mean that she's the usual sacrificial lamb they run against Snowe, or do you mean that she's a Harold Stassen-type who runs in every primary and never wins?

Re: I like Jean Hay Bright. (none / 0)

I actually think that she could have a chance in this primary. Dennis Kucinich is extremely popular with Maine Democrats and her connection to him could help her case.

Also, Snowe's polling numbers are so high that most of the "serious candidates" might opt out.

Re: I like Jean Hay Bright. (none / 0)

I agree with you, craverguy. Barring some unexpected new candidate, Bright should get the nod. Whether she'll do any better than Mike Lawrence (30% in 2000)is anyone's guess.

Re: Why can't we pick up New Hampsure house seats. (none / 0)

that's the advantage of incumbency.

Castle is popular in Delaware -- he's a former Governor. he could very well move into the Senate if Biden is really serious about running for President in 2008.

Eh i wonder Castle isn't getting any younger though im kinda surprized he hasn't thought about contesting Carper's seat oh well i don't know much about DE politics myself. Also on NH i still think that somone out of that entire state could put up a challenge.

Kevin Scott is a moron. (3.00 / 1)

From his website:

"We citizens of Massachusetts deserve 2 party representation in Washington D.C. and right now we do not have it! Currently all 10 of Massachusetts House of Representatives members are Democrats, and both Senators are Democrats. Regardless of whether you are a Democrat or Republican, it is obvious that this needs to change. This imbalance also gives the false impression to the rest of the country that the voters of Massachusetts are completely controlled by 'liberal democrats.'"

Well, gee, Kevin, you think maybe the reason that Massachusetts' entire Congressional delegation is made up of liberal Democrats might be that just about everyone in Massachusetts is a liberal Democrat?

Re: Kevin Scott is a moron. (none / 0)

Ed Towns = loser (none / 0)

I can't believe no one is challenging Towns for the umpteenth time - he's such a waste of a DINO in an 80% dem district - voted for EVERY one of Bush's energy bills in the last 5 years.

Sweeney (none / 0)

I hate that guy. Played a big part in intimidating Florida vote-counters in 2000, among other things. Rep'ing the district I grew up in. Pretty conservative area overall but certainly winnable. Not 1 freaking Democrat? His website hasn't been updated since 2002...

NJ-02 Challenger (none / 0)

The possible challenger against Frank LoBiondo in the NJ-02, Robin Benjamin Weinstein, has a website up at www.voteweinstein.com that wasn't mentioned in the list above.

He seems like a good guy, hopefully he will be able to oust LoBiondo.

[link to annatopia.mydd.com]

He's been found in Dover now who you going to blame.Hell I love a conspiracy but damn around here everything is a conspiracy.Makes it kind of hard to sort out the truth.

maybe he found out some insider info and decided to "disappear" himself?

Sometimes a good idea needs to be revisited.

he's fine, hes in the trunk of my car

I feed him once a year

WTH? The guy faked his own disappearance by crashing his car and soaking his feet in ice to make it look like he had frostbite. He reportedly did all of this to gain more publicity for his campaign...

[link to www.seacoastonline.com (secure)]

he is a democrat what more needs be said, they are fake news

A democrat you say?...I can't seem to remember the number for 911 all of the sudden.

That's what I was wondering. Did they find him yet?

If you do not succeed the first time...try, try, again.


You're getting warmer...
