This clearly sounds like the McCain campaign and the NH GOP are coordinating, EXACTLY what they should be doing. This is the first good sign I have seen in awhile.
Good To Have Candidates
It's good to have candidates for all the offices, Republicans - Democrats - all political philosophies - diverse backgrounds and experiences. It keeps democracy strong.
I'm looking forward to the discussion for this November, on the state and national levels. I think the Democrats here and nationally will do especially well, but who knows, it might be different in 2010 or 2012. The back-and-forth of politics is good for America. And the dialogue is good for the process.
And hopefully, the personalities will play a backseat in all the races to the issues and visions offered by the candidates. Well, at least we can dream.
