MANCHESTER, NH -- The McCain-Palin campaign today announced that New Hampshire State Representative Doreen Howard, a Democratic legislator from Newmarket, has endorsed John McCain for president. Representative Howard previously supported Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's candidacy.
"As a lifelong Democrat who enthusiastically backed Hillary Clinton in the primaries, I am now supporting John McCain. Like Senator Clinton, McCain values the importance of public service. Both Clinton and McCain put country first and that's critically important," said Howard. "John McCain and Sarah Palin are mavericks who have proven they can deliver real reform. As our nation faces challenges at home and abroad, Americans will benefit from their experience, judgment and strong leadership."
Elected in 2006, Representative Howard is a member of the State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee. She represents Newmarket and Newfields.
Representative Howard supported John Kerry in 2004 and Al Gore in 2000.
Welcome aboard.
YES!!! Come on, New Hampshire.....let’s win this together!!!
LOL! A one term wonder who is running stark terrified that the pissy GOP base that allowed her to get elected is now back and is ferociously hunting RAT.
Good news. Can’t hurt, that’s for sure.
I am stuned at how this thing has turned around in just two weeks.
thank you for the public endorsement, Doreen...
WHOA! This is going to hurt! I love it...thank you Mr. Howard! The endorsements are trickling in slowly but surely...YEAH!
He spoke to a "throng" of 200...count 'em...200 in Dover. A town of 25K+.
Hmmm. Two days in a state with 4 EV.
There are going to be a lot of one hit wonders, elected in GOP territory in 06 that will have the door hit them on the ass in 08.
“I hope she is not in tomorrow’s obituaries.”
Great, Doreen will be reading this thread all pleased with her decision...then she will get to your comment! What a buzz kill for her! :)
Hmmmm is right. It might've been a hand-picked crowd but if it was open to the public, then BO sure has lost some luster...
What is even more stuning...
The effect this has got to be having on McCain to fully embrace conservatism.
A President bent on reform with a loud and enthusiastic country united behind him to fend off the slings and arrows of the liberals in Congress and the media.
And a VP to remind him to dance with the girl who brought him to the dance.
Got to love those PUMA’s!
Wondering...will Obama be visiting the NASCAR race in Loudon Sunday?/sarc
I don't mean to pop anybody's bubble. I just pass along useful information.... (smile)
I just saw a short clip of ZERO on FOX addressing a crowd of supporters and it sounded pretty loud. I suspect there were more than just 200 in attendance.
Wow...that’s gonna leave a mark.
this is NH, not Alaska or Arizona. This is a real feeling of a lot of clinton supporters
