CONCORD, N.H. (AP) Democrat Katrina Swett said Thursday that she has filed paperwork to set up a campaign committee for a potential Senate run against Republican John Sununu in 2008.

``The results of the recent elections make it clear that voters in New Hampshire are ready for new national leadership that is moderate, principled and respectful of the voter's needs and concerns,'' she said in a statement. ``We are fortunate to have that kind of leadership in Concord with Governor Lynch and I look forward to bringing those qualities to our representation in the U.S. Senate.''

Swett, of Bow, ran unsuccessfully against U.S. Rep. Charles Bass in 2002. She comes from a political family, and said she understands the time and financial investment needed to make a successful run. Her father is 13-term Congressman Tom Lantos, of California, and her husband, Dick Swett, is a former congressman from New Hampshire and ambassador under the Clinton administration.

You can't possibly make anything like that up. It has to be true.

Good Lord, not her again!

Did she ever change her hippy-dippy wardrobe? The shapeless earth mother frocks and the little-girl hats with turned back brims....
