Democrat Carol Shea-Porter ran a grassroots primary election campaign for Congressional District One that netted her a suprise victory over her opponent Jim Craig for the party nomination. Now she sets her sights on the Republican incumbent, Jeb Bradley. But she faces an uphill battle, with less money and less name recognition than the congressman. On the campaign trail she has been challenging Bradley on many issues, especially on the war in Iraq and what she calls the failed policies of the Bush Administration. We'll talk with her about the issues, about her opponent and how she sees the next few weeks until election day playing out.
