Portsmouth Herald: “Sununu called for ‘less ideology’ and support of his ‘balanced’ energy proposals while blasting Democratic leaders in Washington — and his Democratic rival former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen — for a legislative logjam that is focused on creating a law to deal with oil market speculators but, he claims, is short on action for the short and long terms.” (“Sununu, Shaheen Battle Over Energy Policy”, Portsmouth Herald, 7/24/08)
