People win elections this way all the time. The only thing new here is the medium used.

Tag could also be for that story being on 3 pages. Is Newsweek really that desperate?

Yeah. If she's going to go all Mr. Burns, "whippersnappers" is a much better word.

Or they're trying to appeal to people with very short attention spans.

Hot 20 year old, and at least from what she claims to have experience with and has studied on, she sounds as prepared as most other people who would get elected into a local job like that.

WTG.

Damn you, I was hoping there were some shots of the new County Treasurer in, say, a string bikini cooking a steak that I may have missed. You're truly a horrible person.

Awesome! So facebook gets students to vote. Good to know.

My exact thought when opening comments for this article.

Not only that, but Vanessa Sievers seems to be smarter than your average county office holder.

If you click on the link that says "print" it puts the article on one page. ;-)

Heh, heh. I can understand why the old hag is pissed, but she lost fair and square. I'd be willing to bet she didn't even bother to campaign in front of those college kids who voted her down. Her arrogance got the best of her.

Hear hear!
Tits we can indeed believe in.
Tits that do not sag like the economy.
Tits that are more firm than Republican ethics.
Significantly more firm.
I say, Yay Tits!
Yay young, perky tits!
And yay nips.

I'm not a big fan of college students being elected to this kind of office (and, in part, using the votes of other college students, mostly temporary residents of the college town), but meh, the old lady has sour grapes, and probably sucked at her job.

Carol Elliott, Treasurer for Grafton County since 2003, was awarded "County Treasurer of the Year". Carol previously served as Grafton County Register of Deeds for 16 years before changing positions.

Teenybopper is a perfectly good word. For a middle school aged kid. The tag was usd appropriately.

Teenybopper... do does that mean we can call the woman who used to have the job a "Baby Booper"? She's old enough.

Exactly. 20-year-olds are not teenyboppers. Try 13 or 14, then you've got teenyboppers.

I guess it proves very much that he deserved to lose the election. Apparently he doesn't respect all his constituents, especially the younger ones.. What, they don't pay taxes? Someone who thinks lowly of any particular portion of the population he or she serves deserves the boot.

Nasty pruned-up old bint thought she was entitled to the job, huh? Ha-freakin-ha!!!!!

Yes, I'm also glad this dried up old coontbag is going to go without this job.

 
SemperLieSuckah 2008-11-15 10:04:32 PM  
...I am utterly amazed that this thread is happy about this. You're kidding me, right? She's TWENTY and she is about to be the head financial manager of a city. Her degree path is in geography and history...

I'm writing this one down in my "things to check on in one year" book. I have a feeling that Grafton County is about to financially liquidate itself to Nigeria.

 
YoungLochinvar 2008-11-15 10:06:52 PM  
While Carol might have sour grapes, she's got a point about the college students not really giving a damn about local politics. Being a Dartmouth alum, I can say that approximately 99% of the Dartmouth undergrads probably have no idea (nor do they care about) what goes on in local county politics - because the vast majority are transplants (out of ~4000 undergrads, about 20-30 at any given time will be from Grafton County and maybe another 100 will be from New Hampshire). The vast majority of those students (including Ms. Sievers, who happens to be a Montana native) will also be leaving NH for greener pastures upon graduation. Despite this, a lot of them still vote in NH elections because the Young Democrats (or whatever they're called these days) go to great lengths to register students to vote in NH (as it's usually a swing state).

So honestly, I do think the true residents of Grafton County lost on this one - even if Ms. Sievers is great, she'll be gone in 2 years, tops. It's entirely stupid to throw away someone w/ experience who'll actually stick around for a while.

/Can't say anything about Plymouth State, but I'm guessing they've got a large number of non-Grafton County students too

I don't think that's a girl. That bulge is a little big for a vulva.

i'm more concerned about the amount of belly she's holding in.

I always found the phrase "teeny-bopper" to be suspiciously similar to "kiddy-diddler".
