Doggone it! Marilinda Garcia loses in New Hampshire

I supported this gal and this is why right here.

The Story:

In a spirited race, Democratic incumbent Ann Kuster beat Republican Marilinda Garcia in New Hampshire’s 2nd congressional district. According to the Associated Press, with roughly one-third of the votes counted, Kuster was leading 55.9 percent to 44.1 percent.

Polls leading up to the election had showed Kuster leading Garcia by 7 to 10 points.

The race attracted considerable national attention because of Garcia, whom the Republican National Committee held up as a rising star within the Party. Garcia presented herself as a departure from your grandfather’s GOP, which she said had been perceived in the country as “being populated mostly by old, white men.”

I was not aware of the statement made about “old white people” and I think it is just as offensive as the statement made about her, by a Democrat. I think that Marlinda’s chances of winning might have been hampered by that; not to mention, New Hampshire is a very liberal state — as is most of the northeastern seaboard anymore.

I wish her the best and hope that she does try to run for office again; I just hope that she keeps race out of it.
