Partisan Party Finger-Pointing
GOP attacks former congresswoman with new website: CarolSheaPartisan.com.
Republicans and Democrats now have dueling online sites to pick apart their opponent in the race for the 1st congressional district.
The National Republican Congressional Committee launched CarolSheaPartisan.com to attack the former congresswoman's record. The NRCC, which has online ads to the same tune, claims Carol Shea-Porter turned her back on constituents in order to walk the Democratic Party line.
In response, the New Hampshire Democratic Party just unveiled FrankthePartisan.tumblr.com to accuse Republican incumbent Frank Guinta of putting his "ideology and party" ahead of Granite Staters.

“This is only the beginning of our campaign to ensure New Hampshire voters are aware of Shea-Porter’s record and the consequences of returning her to Washington. Granite State voters want an independent voice that puts them first, not an extreme partisan like Shea-Porter.”
From NH Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley:
"Frank 'The Partisan' Guinta has made a career out of fighting against the middle class and for himself and special interests. The people of New Hampshire are witnessing the match of century between Guinta - who has wasted taxpayer dollars, put women's lives in jeopardy and been named one of the most corrupt members of Congress - and the New Hampshire middle class."
