(First they attack Mark Warner for not being ideologically pure enough, now they attack Jeanne Shaheen. As I said yesterday, with friends like these... - promoted by Lowell)
It now looks like Democrats are going to be picking up another Senate seat next year.
Former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen will announce Friday that she will run for the U.S. Senate, a source familiar with her plans said.
The popular Democrat will step down as head of Harvard's Institute of Politics to challenge Republican Sen. John Sununu, who defeated her for the seat in 2002, the source told The Associated Press.
Go Jeanne Shaheen! Goodbye John Sununu!
P.S. Shaheen leads Sununu 57%-29% in the latest poll.
In her statement, Shaheen said she decided to run "because we have major problems facing this country, and there is an urgent need for real change in Washington."
She added, "We've proven in New Hampshire that we can work together to get things done. I want to take that common-sense approach to Washington and help get this country moving in the right direction."
Sound familiar? See Mark Warner's statement yesteday. This is going to be awesome - Mark Warner, Jim Webb and Jeanne Shaheen in the Senate just 15 months from now. Better days ahead for America...]
