Stephen, NHDP Chair Buckley react to Bradley ad
By James W. Pindell
Congressional candidate Jeb BradleyIt might be no surprise that a rival campaign and a rival party chair were less than impressed with Jeb Bradley's first television ad this cycle.
In the ad Bradley went to after Democratic U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter and not his opponent in the Republican primary John Stephen.
Stephen campaign spokesman Greg Moore noted how early the ad was going up.
"Obviously Jeb Bradley feels he has to a bit nervous to by ad time this early in May," Moore said. "He has to be insecure about his position."
New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley said Bradley, who lost his congressional seat in 2006, was going after Shea-Porter because he didn't want to defend President Bush.
"He cannot stand on the issues and who could blame him for supporting George Bush policies, so he feels he has to attack Congresswoman Shea-Porter," Buckley said.

Smart move for Bradley
Considering these ads were run on John Stephen's announcement day while Stephen's announcement party in Manchester wasn't even covered on WMUR or in the Union Leader, Stephen's inept and arrogant leadership team should do some soul searching rather than making sarcastic comments about Bradley.
These two are in a race for identity
Honestly, I don't see a tremendous difference between the positions of these 2 republican candidates, and neither seems to have figured out that Shea-Porter won on her position against the waste of the Iraq war. Manchester is torn apart over a $7M school budget shortfall, which at $325,000 a minute cost for the Iraq war is just 18-minutes. These guys need to understand that and take a position to start putting focus and resources back on our own country.
