Young Guns tap Bradley
By Alex Isenstadt, Politicker.com ReporterWASHINGTON – The Young Guns, a House Republican-sponsored program offering support to GOP candidates around the county, have tapped Jeb Bradley as a new beneficiary.
Bradley, a former congressman, is fresh off a Sept. 9 primary victory over Republican John Stephen. He is preparing to face off against U.S. Rep. Carol Shea Porter (R-Rochester), in one of the most hotly contested House races in the country.
The Young Guns, which is headed up by U.S. Reps. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), and Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), aims to provide fundraising and institutional support to open seat and incumbent candidates.
Bradley joins several other new additions to the group, including Florida 16th Congressional District candidate Tom Rooney and Kansas 2nd Congressional candidate Lynn Jenkins. The Young Guns had long planned on targeting all three districts for support, each of which featured contested GOP primaries.
With the new additions, the coalition is supporting a total of 18 challenger races and 6 open seat races.

"I had a person ask me that once and they asked which is the most powerful position I've ever held and I would have to say being chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party at a time when there was an upcoming New Hampshire primary is pretty important in the scheme of things," Bruno joked.

It seems like everyone
It seems like everyone except Jeb is working hard to get him elected. I haven't seen or heard from him at all since he beat John Stephen using false and misleading ads. He has done nothing to mend fences with Stephen supporters who he needs to win.
Note to Jeb- you can't win this election with negative ads alone, you have to get out there and convince voters that you are the better candidate. Based on your record though, you may be better off sticking with the negative ads.
