It appears as if one of the most appealing young GOP stars of Campaign 2014 has fallen short. Marilinda Garcia, a 31-year-old New Hampshire state legislator who sported both a degree from Harvard and jobs teaching classical harp at music conservatories, is behind by about ten points with a third of the vote in. The vote may close, but it appears that Democratic incumbent Ann Kuster was able to stall her momentum with an avalanche of ads accusing her of wanting to end all reproductive rights for women. The best guess is that Kuster outspent Garcia by five to one on ads. There are no exit polls in the race, but the one taken in the U.S. Senate race that was narrowly won by Jeanne Shaheen is instructive. Both Scott Brown (Shaheen’s opponent) and Marilinda Garcia won male voters but lost female voters badly.
