Politician Who Has Been Dead Since 2009 Just Weighed In on New Hampshire Senate Race
Granite State Republicans successfully place an old op-ed from the 2008 Senate race, written by a dead man.

The op-ed begins on a discordant note. "As is usual with poll-driven politicians," writes Marshall Cobleigh in New Hampshire's Foster's Daily Democrat, "Jeanne Shaheen is running television commercials and writing op-ed pieces addressing the dominant problem facing America — skyrocketing gasoline prices — but providing no real solutions."
Gas prices? Shaheen, New Hampshire's Democratic senior senator and still narrowly a favorite for re-election next week, has not been saying much about gas prices. The toll at the pump has not been "skyrocketing" this year -- around the country, it's actually down an average of $0.40 per gallon since the November 2012 election.
