NH House Rep Kris E Roberts, in a comment made over on the Marchand Group web site (a democrat campaign and advocacy consulting group) we see evidence of what I’ve suggested all along; that a vote for any democrat is a vote for the leadership’s agenda and little else.  Kris is commenting at the end of  an article regarding the statistical problems for democrats keeping House seats in districts that tend to vote Republican in a year when the left is on the ropes.  The article itself is worth reading but the comment is priceless.

There is more to this than many want to say, the party leadership both at the state level and the House level have created a very negative mood with many current House Members.  Many members feel as if they don’t matter, that leadership has done nothing to help them develop into better Rep.   Leadership rarely asked for their imput (sic), or opinions.  It has been like a high school click, where only the special people matter.

The result; there are many people not running because they have serious problems with the people in leadership positions.
In Keene a rock solid safe D area, it is possible that we will have unfill (sic) slots.
