[edit] Neither campaign literature nor hatchet jobs belong in Wikipedia

I'm going to revert or otherwise remove some of the recent and very POV additions to this article.

Statements from right-wing think tanks or right-wing newspaper editorials denouncing Shaheen are not appropriate news sources. If they are introduced as examples of opinion or controversy, the opposing POV must get equal exposure.

Campaign puffery is of course also inappropriate.betsythedevine 11:13, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

We can't lift a picture of a candidate for US Senate from her campaign website? I highly doubt they will mind the exposure.69.64.219.3 (talk) 14:37, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV dispute regarding tax proposal

I'm not disputing the facts regarding Shaheen's tax proposal in 2000, but I do think the placement, especially in isolation (both in terms of placement in the article and specificity in comparison to other gubernatorial actions) seems to have a strong bias in favor of her political opponents. It should be explained in context--was there a budget shortfall, etc? and given that the "Pledge" is the creation of the openly right wing Union Leader newspaper--or it should be truncated and moved to a different section of the article, or removed altogether. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FrankLloydMike (talk • contribs) 14:48, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
