MacDonald: What Do 'Anti-Corruption' Dems Have to Say About This?

I can’t tell you how much joy it brings me to see Stefany Shaheen struggling in her Democratic primary for NH CD1. Somehow she managed to take a name known statewide (Her mom was a State Senator, Governor, and US Senator) and make it mean less. Maura Sullivan, equally awful, but not a rhetorical member of the Five Families, is ahead of the Stefasaurus in the polls.
Sullivan likes to say Shaheen was born on third base as a euphemism for her silver-spoon status, and yet here we are a week from the Primary and it didn’t buy her the nomination (yet). She’s down five points.
Is it possible that the NH Dems are getting tired of the dynasties because Congressman Chris Pappas, a member of Congress for several terms, is rapidly losing ground to even further left-wing primary challenger Karishma Manzur? He still has a 13-point lead but recently shed 5 points to Manzur, and if he loses five more, we’re in the statistical dead heat zone.
