Niki Tsongas on Principles & Values

	Niki Tsongas on Principles & Values Democrat

Casts 2007 House election as referendum on Bush’s policies

There couldn’t be a bigger contrast between the two candidates’ campaigns. While Tsongas casts the election as a referendum on Bush’s policies--a strategy that worked for many Democratic candidates in 2006--Republican Jim Ogonowski aggressively portrays himself as a populist outsider in an effort to meet the new mood that seems to be enveloping the national electorate: a pox on all houses in Washington.

Tsongas, meanwhile, has no qualms associating herself with her party’s leadership. She brought in former President Bill Clinton and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for fundraisers, netting the campaign about $225,000. The state’s leading political icon, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), campaigned with her, touting her opposition to the war in Iraq. “All of us understand how important this race is. The eyes of Massachusetts, the eyes of the country are on this race,” Kenndy said, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Tsongas.
