More Pressure on Senator Sununu
You can usually tell when a politician is going into defensive mode. Yesterday Senator John Sununu attacked me in a letter to the the editor of the Nashua Telegraph.
Today, the New York Times published an article from North Conway, New Hampshire talking about how Sununu is feeling the heat.
even among the ladies and gentlemen of the Carroll County Republican Committee, more than a few of whom wore elephant neckties and broaches to celebrate the symbol of their party, the vexing issue of Iraq was the real elephant in the room. “Nobody is happy with the way the war is going,†said a loyal Republican who attended the event. “It was a Republican project, so my guess is that he’s in trouble. Senator Sununu has been such a big supporter of George W. Bush, the Democrats will take a good shot at him.â€
more than a dozen Republicans in attendance said they were concerned about Mr. Sununu’s re-election prospects. New Hampshire has been trending Democratic, with both chambers of the Legislature and the governor’s office out of Republican control for the first time since the 1870s.
a Republican state senator, delivered a bleak outlook for his party’s prospects in the state. He said he feared being “caught up in this anti-Iraq message,†but said voters spared him because he served a six-month stint in Iraq as a Marine Corps reservist.
“At this point,†Mr. Kenney said, “it’s going to be a challenging election for John (Sununu).â€
It certainly will not help when people begin to learn that despite his call for the resignation of Alberto Gonzales last week, Sununu both supported Gonzales‘ nomination to the post of Attorney General and defended Gonzales‘ horrific stances on torture and disregard for the Geneva convention.
