my sense was that Guinta will win the primary easily, but perhaps I haven’t researched it well.

“In reality, though, Innis has been a dud. He has been in the race since October and there is no urgency or sense of momentum. Guinta, his primary opponent, has been able to get away with ignoring him because everyone else is ignoring him. In a retail politics state, Innis has not been out on the hustings as he should be. He is also not raising money, and it didn’t help that his finance director left to work for Scott Brown. Innis has a name ID in the district of just 21 percent.”

Marilinda Garcia is doing well, could she beat Lambert?

“Marilinda Garcia is doing well, could she beat Lambert?”

I hope so, since she’d give us a better chance of winning in November (she’s attractive, energetic and a good campaigner), and she could be a star in Congress (and a potential future U.S. Senator). The NH-02 has a weaker Democrat incumbent than the NH-01, but is the less Republican of the state’s two CDs. The reason why I didn’t mention Marilinda Garcia is because I don’t think that there are huge differences between her and Lambert on the issues.

As for the Guinta-Innis matchup, I wouldn’t mail it in yet; donating to Guinta is definitely more worthwhile than most of the primary campaigns that people talk about, and if Guinta doesn’t end up having to use the money for the primary he will sure be able to use it to beat “Che” Porter in the general.
