Heh. A winger reaches out with his bony hand from the very grave to Attack Shaheen In NH Senate Race
Op-Ed Authored By Dead Politician Attacks Shaheen In NH Senate Race
On Monday, Foster's Daily Democrat in New Hampshire published a blistering op-ed piece attacking Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) by former House Speaker Marshall Cobleigh.
"As is usual with poll-driven politicians, Jeanne Shaheen is running television commercials and writing op-ed pieces addressing the dominant problem facing America — skyrocketing gasoline prices — but providing no real solutions," the piece began. "Evan worse, anyone who knows her history also knows that during her entire career she has been a big part of the problem."
There was an unusual wrinkle: Cobleigh died in February 2009. The op-ed was actually a reprint of when it was first published in July 3, 2008.
