Death of a Congressional Campaign

Bob Giuda’s campaign for Congress crashed and burned Monday afternoon, brought down by a 600-word blog post. Actual cause of death was the candidate’s own intemperate words and dismissive attitude, but it was the reporting by a college student on summer break that nailed the coffin shut.

In the discussion, Giuda became defensive and angry, and his arguments verged on the offensive and ridiculous, even for a socially conservative candidate.

In regards to the danger of gay marriage, he said, “What’s next? Men and sheep? Women and dogs?”

He called gay marriage the root of ill in society, referring to it as the “downfall of the nation.” He called single motherhood a result of a “breakdown in marriage,” and went so far as to blame the fall of Sparta, a military power in Ancient Greece, on homosexuality among its soldiers.

Her report was picked up by James Pindell at NHPoliticalReport.com, the new media news outlet that has become a must-read for the state’s political movers and shakers. And it exploded.

The traditional media was left to pick up the pieces. WMUR snagged Giuda for a follow-up interview while failing to attribute the original reporting. ("Giuda reportedly said...") The Nashua Telegraph then reported on the WMUR interview.

The Giuda campaign gave up the ghost this week, but rumors of the death of journalism have been greatly exaggerated.
