Candidates Make Final Push At Primary Polling Place

UPDATED: 9:37 pm EDT September 14, 2010

NASHUA, N.H. -- Katrina Sweet has conceded the Democratic race in the 2nd Congressional District to Annie Kuster.

Kuster and Charlie Bass held early leads in the races for the Democratic and Republican nominations for the 2nd Congressional District on Tuesday night.

The race between Kuster and Swett was the one major Democratic primary on the ballot Tuesday. Both candidates have family political ties, but neither has personally held public office.

With 14 of 188 precincts reporting, Kuster had 1,875 votes, compared to 603 for Swett. Swett said she offered her congratulations to Kuster.

"I told her she ran a terrific campaign," Swett said. "That I was very proud to run with her and would support her in the coming race."

1. Hot damn! A clear *PROGRESSIVE* win!

From before sun-up to after sun-down, Mr. Tesha
spent all day at the polls today (and I spent
a few hours) holding Annie's signs. And he and
I have both spent quite a few hours over the
last several days doing "visibility" for Annie
in our city.

So it's nice to see a clear win for a true
Progressive against a relatively Blue Dog
opponent. Now, on to the General Election
(which still promises to be very, very tough).

Today, when Katrina Swett still thought she
had it locked up, her partisans at the polls
were all trying to get our assurances that after
it was all over, we'd settle our differences and
support Katrina. Let's hope they're now willing
to take their own advice and return that favor;
it would be a shame if PUMA spirit cost us the
General Election!
