Shaheen to address Dem convention
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterThe Democratic National Convention Committee has announced that U.S. Senate candidate and former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury) will address the convention on Wednesday, August 27.
"For too long, families in New Hampshire and across the country have struggled as Washington has put the needs of special interests ahead of the needs of middle class families. Well, it is time for a change," said Shaheen in a press release.
"This November, we are going to take our country in a new direction by standing up and fighting for the middle class again. If we want a new direction in Washington, we need real change this fall."
Shaheen will be speaking along with Tom Udall of New Mexico, Jeff Merkley of Oregon, and Tom Allen of Maine.

"I want him to be a little bit like Meldrim Thomson," she said, praising the archconservative former governor's love of fixing problems in-state. "Mel Thomson used to tell the federal government to screw itself."

Jeanne Shaheen will
Jeanne Shaheen will literally be standing right next to Chuck Schumer! Can you believe this? Talk about not having any independence. He is running her campaign.
Shaheen Puts Her Needs in Front of the State's...Again
I guess we should be used to it, but it always amazes me how she can be so blatant about her desire to use the Senate as a means to please the political hacks in Washington. Being seen on the national stage is more to her than fighting hard for her state. She's pathetic.
