Cullen: Shaheen’s speech short on specifics
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterDENVER-New Hampshire Republican Chairman Fergus Cullen issued a statement shortly after former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen's address to the Democratic National Convention.
Cullen said that Shaheen's address was filled with "liberal talking points."
"Jeanne Shaheen's address to the Democratic National Convention showcased her continued dependence on the standard, scripted, liberal talking points supplied by politician insiders and Washington partisans," Cullen said in a statement. "In her speech, Shaheen failed to offer any specific ideas on how strengthen our economy and once again refused to support any efforts to expand domestic drilling and energy exploration."
Cullen ended the statement with the note: "Did you notice that they spelled her name wrong on the jumbotron?"
Earlier today the New Hampshire Republican Party issued two press releases with the titles, "Top Ten Things Shaheen Won't Mention in Her DNC Convention Speech," and "Flashback: Shaheen's Broken Promises from the 1996 Democratic Convention."

Jeanne Shaheen/John Sununu Side-By-Side
Now let's see, Fergus...
Jeanne Shaheen called for a "new economic direction." John Sununu wants to continue the one we've had for the past eight years which he has voted for time and time again for eight years...
Jeanne Shaheen wants to "cut taxes for middle-class families and small businesses." John Sununu wants more corporate giveaways, continued loopholes for off-shore tax shelters, and tax cuts for the wealthy...
Jeanne Shaheen wants to combat global warming, which John Sununu hasn't even indicated he believes is happening (must be listening to Rush Limbaugh's radio show every day)...
And Jeanne Shaheen wants to bring our troops home from Iraq and that misguided war, which John Sununu has supported all along.
Sounds like very specific differences there between Jeanne Shaheen and John Sununu.
