There’s an article at Politico listing eight members of Congress from around the country who are political ”casualties” of the August recess for mishandling the health care issue - and both Shea-Porter and Hodes make this short list.  Congrats, Representatives! From Politico:
“Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-N.H.) Live by the sword; die by the sword. Prior to winning [...]

Another day, another Shea-Porter gaffe. Foster’s has an article on what may be one of the oddest run ins on the trail thus far in the 2010 election cycle.  Apparently last night, both fmr. NH Attorney General Kelly Ayotte and Rep. Carol Shea-Porter ran into each other at a Portsmouth hotel.  The hotel was hosting [...]

Urgh.
Still, it gives the NRCC an opportunity for statewide advertising: “If the candidate’s last name starts with a G and ends with A, you know it’s a name you can trust.”

The Wall Street Journal reprints Mike Memoli’s Real Clear Politics post on the 1st District Congressional race and in it is this interesting graph:
What makes Guinta’s candidacy so enticing is his home field advantage in the Queen City. Though Manchester is a majority Democratic city, he won a second term in 2007 by nearly eight [...]

The northeast is poised for a Republican comeback. The pendulum always swings back, my friends.
But one of those Republicans may have reason to consider a comeback. In New Hampshire, a new Granite State Poll shows Sununu leading Rep. Paul Hodes, the likely Democratic nominee in the race to succeed retiring Sen. Judd Gregg (R). If [...]

In case you missed yesterday’s post on the latest UNH Poll take a look here for a look at the overall poll numbers and a look at the 2010 Senate Race.  Also, check here for the full poll results.
Besides the fact that Paul Hodes would lose to either Sen. Gregg or Sununu, the other number [...]
