Bradley said he and the former Health and Human Services Commissioner had a dozen spirited debates leading up to the primary.

But Bradley said the disagreements they had then would be forgotten in the weeks to come.

"You know that when we have disagreements within the family, they can be pretty tough. And we all know that this was a tough campaign. And let me tell you tonight, I just got off the phone with Commissioner Stephen, and he told me that his priority is to make sure that Carol Shea-Porter does not return to Washington." (applause)

Bradley lost to Democrat Carol Shea Porter in 2006.

First District voters get a chance to cast ballots in this rematch in November.

Bradley is a failure

Carol will beat him again and she should. She will tie him to Bush's failed policies and she would be right. Bradley is a shameful liar and is not to be trusted. By the way, I am a Republican, a conservative but will support Porter because I prefer an honest failure to a lying one.
