NH-Sen, NH-02: There's Really No Hurry

[ccharles000]

The Hill:

In an interview with The Hill, the former congressman said he is looking at both his old House seat and the Senate race.
"I am considering them both," he said. "But I'm not in any hurry. I've been in Congress, so for me it's a question of whether I want to re-enter the world of public service and what contribution I can make in either the House or the Senate."

Bass says that he is "not spending every waking moment thinking about" whether he'll run and that it is a "complex decision" for him. Since New Hampshire holds its primaries in September, well after most states, Bass notes he doesn't have to make a decision soon. He expects to wait until the end of this year or the beginning of next year to decide.

Don't strain the brain, there, Charlie -- you have all the time in the world. It's not like the Democrats have lined up a top-tier recruit for the Senate race who's already squirreling away campaign cash for 2010. Oh wait... Paul Hodes. Right.

Well, maybe John E. Sununu will make up the Bassmaster's mind for him.

UPDATE (David): Bass in 2006:


"If the opportunity ever presents itself, I will jump into the political fray with as much excitement, enthusiasm and passion as I have in the past," he said.
Isn't an open seat he once held the ultimate opportunity? Not a whole lot of excitement, enthusiasm and passion here, though.

1. Hodes or Lynch, either one will beat any Repub sacrificial victim

down to bear scat. In less than 18 months New Hampshire will be bright blue, across the board. How that happened is the saga of the decline and fall of the Republican party.
