Maybe so but you and yours are wallowing in glee over the trivial inner workings of Fred's campaign. I've worked in an office most of my life and office politics has got to be the most ridiculous thing anyone can endure, and no office is immune to it.
Are we going to next get a thread about Fred picking his nose or farting?
Body functions don’t amuse me. Taking attendance with adults does.

If anyone starts that thread, I’m sure even his farts will be spun as silent but deadly evidence of genius.
New Hampshire GOP had the Granite State's world on a string when wealthy businessman Craig Benson replaced the outgoing governor Jeanne Shaheen in one of the biggest blowouts in NH gubernatorial election history. He was viewed as a possible presidential candidate for 2008 because of his job as a governor (like Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, etc.), his money and charm and position as a "compassionate conservative"-type (he didn't scare off Democrats or moderates) and his geographical base that could expand the number of red states (like Giuliani is said to have). It all fell apart in a heap because of his personnel management.
The whole castle on a cloud crumbled because he wasn't good at dealing with staff and hiring good staff, etc. No one thought he did a bad job as governor, but he became unpopular because the people he surrounded himself with were not good choices-- they blundered and got into scandals and didn't have good relations with the legislature (one dominated by the GOP, BTW) and his re-election staff alienated supporters. Now, NH has become as blue as the rest of New England and it didn't have to be that way.
These things do matter.
