How does stuck on stupid rockefeller know that what the Soldier said is not true if he never reads things before he votes on them? How can we be sure he reads anything before he makes a DNC talking point comment? Jeez I think he is bordering on Dementia.

The three-term Democratic mayor of Manchester, N.H. lost to a weak Republican challenger tonight, just three days after John Kerry& Car-o-lina accident chaser John Edwards made a stop in town expressly to campaign for the incumbent. The difference -- 536 votes. Mayor Bob Baines was a key Kerry supporter during last year's New Hampshire Primary, and Kerry returned the favor on Saturday, stumping for Baines at a well-publicized event. Joe Biden and Evan Bayh also campaigned for Baines in Manchester, a Democratic stronghold in New Hampshire. Baines lost to alderman Frank Guinta, a former staffer for U.S. Rep. Jeb Bradley. Guinta ran almost entirely on a platform of cutting taxes. Baines has been cavalier about tax increases, and after six years apparently Manchester residents have had enough. The Guinta victory gives Manchester a Republican mayor for the first time in six years and is another indicator that southern New Hampshire, where all those Massachusetts ex-pats live, is trending more solidly Republican and anti-tax.
