| Lynch v. Benson Return to index of stories... |
AP-NH--Lynch Lynch accuses Benson of buying his office CONCORD, N.H. - Democratic gubernatorial hopeful John Lynch says Governor Craig Benson bought his way into office and acts as though he can do whatever he pleases. In an interview with the Concord Monitor, Lynch says the millionaire Republican has been dogged by scandals, in part because of the way he came to office. Benson spokeswoman Alicia Preston responded that both men are wealthy and well-funded. She also says Benson -- who stresses frugality in state government -- understands the difference between spending his own money and that of taxpayers. Two years ago, Benson spent a record eleven million dollars on the race, most of it his own money. So far this year Lynch has raised 905-thousand dollars. AP-NY-08-30-04 1001EDT |
| Kerry Ads Return to index of stories... |
NEW YORK - New Hampshire can expect to see the first ads from John Kerry's 50--million-dollar blitz next week. The state is one of seven where the Democrat's campaign is kicking off its post-Labor Day block of advertising. The first state where ads are planned is Ohio. They start there Friday. Ads will air on local network affiliates, cable T-V and broadcast outlets targeting minorities. ersap NEW YORK - New Hampshire is one of seven states where John Kerry's post-Labor Day advertising blitz will start. The 50--million-dollar campaign is scheduled to expand into another 13 states by November second. Ads begin airing Friday in Ohio, then next week in New Hampshire and the other initial states. The remaining 13 states won't see ads until later this fall. Ads will air on local network affiliates, cable TV and broadcast outlets targeting minorities. The ad buy uses more than half of the roughly 90--million-dollars Kerry can spend between now and November second. Officials say his campaign has budgeted an undisclosed amount of money to pour into key states later in the fall. Kerry's advance buy is unusual. President Bush's campaign plans to order ads one or two weeks at a time. |
| Campaigning Return to index of stories... |
ersap NEW YORK - Massachusetts Republicans loyal to President Bush are packing their bags and heading north, often to New Hampshire and Maine. G-O-P activists have conceded the Bay State to Democrat John Kerry. They say working in battleground states will make more of a difference. New Hampshire and Maine both have two Republican U-S senators. They stand a much better chance of tipping Bush's way in November than Massachusetts. That state is heavily Democratic despite having a Republican governor and lieutenant governor. Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey says buses with volunteers head to New Hampshire and Maine every weekend. Massachusetts Democratic Party spokeswoman Jane Lane also says Kerry volunteers from Massachusetts also are visiting battleground states. She predicts the state will be a ghost town in November. |
