Quote of the Day

The Bassmaster:

Rep. Charlie Bass (R), whom Hodes defeated in 2006 by a 7-point margin, has expressed interest in running for his old seat, but he is also mulling a Senate bid.

“If I feel like people here in New Hampshire are ready for a right-of-center pragmatist, then I’ll consider running,” Bass said.

Bass added that if he runs for his old House seat and wins it, he’ll be able to use his six terms of seniority to return to his work on the Energy and Commerce Committee where, he said, he was “rudely interrupted” by his re-election loss. Nonetheless, Bass cautioned that he would not make a decision for a while, but certainly before the June 2010 filing deadline. (Emphasis added)

I can has seniority back?

  1. 1. Does he really think the Republicans would give it to him?

    2. Even if they did, does it make you feel better to be a more senior member of a party that is completely irrelevant in the House?

  2. Will this site welcome back his staff so they can anonymously tell us how the polls are wrong and Bass is a safe bet in the election?

  3. There was a campaign appearance photowhere Bass is right in front of a large campaign sign that just had his last name.

    But the angle of the shot is such that the letter “B” was obsured by either his head or body, so that it only reads ASS.

    Pretty humorous. But that does seems apropo here.

    (Anyone else remember that, or have an old link? Probably was on dailykos, or some other blog back in ’06)
