| Description | Rep. Paul Hodes (D) cast his possible foe as a creature of DC even as he himself embraces a health care bill that is likely to be the signature accomplishment of Pres. Obama's first term.
But to Hodes, it is ex-AG Kelly Ayotte (R) who has become an insider. "She is a walking billboard for (Senate Min. Leader) Mitch McConnell. She has moved so far to the right," Hodes said, highlighting fundraisers Ayotte has held with McConnell and other top GOPers.
In an extensive interview with Hotline OnCall, Hodes argued Ayotte lacks concrete policy plans. "She doesn't speak well in front of people," he said, adding, "she is a Washington inside creation of the beltway is what she is, and she is in trouble over it."
While he was quick to launch broadsides at the GOPer, Hodes maintained that the GOP race is not necessarily a done deal just yet. Ayotte faces a challenge from the right from '96 GOV nominee/atty/ex-NH Bd. of Ed. chair Ovide Lamontagne (R), and another well-funded challenger in businessman Bill Binnie (R). |
