Shaheen wants to distract us from the cold hard truth about her dark Blue roots by arguing that her opponent, Senator Sununu, is less capable than she simply because he voted with Bush 85% of the time. But a quick look at her policy and issues pages will show just how closely aligned she is with Pelosi twins Hodes and Shea Porter who voted with Chancellor Peolsi 98% of the time. If 85% is bad what’s 98% get you when it just happens to be 98% of what has turned out to be the most unpopular House of Representatives in American History? Shaheen would simply be the Pelosi Triplet with a six year seat in the Senate.
But while Shaheen beats her 85% drum, you won’t hear a peep out of her on that other 15% because it damages her credibility too much. Just about every one of the issues Sununu voted against is a signature pin in the Democrats voodoo doll campaign strategy to unseat republicans, and since she can’t stick him with them she’s got to hope no one notices. (Too late.)
