One-on-one with Senator John Sununu as we discuss what's facing Congress and his re-election campaign. |
| Hello/Intro Sununu Return to index of stories... |
Hello, I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to NH Outlook. This election year New Hampshire voters will not only have to vote for the next President-- they will also have to determine whether to re-elect the state's junior Senator to office. Senator John Sununu is up for a second term and facing a tough fight from former Governor Jeanne Shaheen. Sununu is a first-term Republican from Bedford. From time to time we like to check in with our Congressional delegation to get their perspective on some of the key issues facing the country -- like the economy and Iraq. On Friday, I sat down with Senator Sununu to talk about what's facing Congress and his re-election campaign. |

Q Would Renewable Energy Tax Credits help the north country and if so, would you work to get those passed? INTERNET Q You are the only ENGINEER in the senate. You're on the Commerce Cmte & involved in a lot of Internet Related Issues - you worked to extend the BAN on taxing Internet Access. How important is that to the North country?

What happened? RE-ELECTION Q You're facing RE-Election. You have a challenger in former democratic Gov Jeanne Shaheen. NH, once a republican dominated state.seems to be leaning democratic. How TOUGH do you think your relection battle will be? END q What accomplishments would you point to to convince voters to send you back to Washington? WATERBOARDING Q Is WATERBOARDING TORTURE? Why did you vote AGAINST the Intelligence Bill that would have BANNED the CIA's use of WATERBOARDING and other harsh interrogation methods. WIRETAPPING Q In the past you've parted company with Republicans over concerns about the Patriot Act, which makes it easier to secretly tape phones. But voted FOR the Intelligence bill on WIRETAPPING -- which some say opens the door to warrantless monitoring of any form of communication originating in the US? WHY? |
