Subject: Young upstart unseats 3 term GOP politician

Vanessa Sievers, the 20-year-old Dartmouth College junior who ran for treasurer of Grafton County, NH, and won. The defeated three-term Republican incumbent, 68-year-old Carol Elliott, protested that Ms. Sievers won only because "brainwashed college kids" voted Democratic, and referred to the student as a "teenybopper." And rightly so. This uppity youngster is so childish that insults and name-calling are really the only appropriate responses from a 68-year-old woman.
yeah younger generation!

But, is she qualified? :D
Lots of really young mayors and councilmembers, so this is no surprise. Just as long as they know what they be doing :P

That lady's mistake was just assuming the "old fogey" vote would come out in droves for her! Next time, you better pound the pavement, Aunt Carol! (or gravel as it may be in that area of NH!)
:D

that's what really kills me about some of these politicians... the sense of entitlement to their job they get when they've been there a while. Too many uncontested politicians at the state and local levels if you ask me.

Well "old foggies" can't remain in power forever. Teenybopper, I wonder if that's a new name for college educated.
