College Student Beats Old Incumbent for County Treasurer

A Dartmouth College junior and Democrat beat a 68-year old Republican incumbent to be treasurer of Grafton County, N.H.  One deciding factor? A $51 ad on Facebook. 

The defeated incumbent ain't happy and called the college kid a "teenybopper" and said she'd only won because "brainwashed college kids" had voted for the Democratic ticket.  The college kid's reply: "I took advantage of new media, and she did not."

Hat tip to Ed Cone for the lead.
