1. He looked pretty weak to me before this poll. He's pathetic.

Scrambling around now trying to find a way to save his Senate seat. New Hampshire flipped blue in 04, going for Kerry-Edwards over Bush-Cheney. New Hampshire folks never really liked Bush much anyway -- McCain landslided the GOP primary in 2000 -- and more Democrats seem to be there now, and/or are emboldened by Bush's lunacy and incompetence.

I appreciate your putting this poll up. Let's definitely get rid of Sununununununununu.

2. Shaheen or Lynch...

pray to God one of them runs although Lynch has said he won't. We really need to get Sununu out and shore up our numbers in the Senate.

3. A whopping 1% among Ds?

Guess they made up their minds. :rofl:

We'll call this story "DeWine II, a New England Sequel"

4. Could be the GOP's most vulnerable incumbent...

the only possible exception being Norm Coleman. Remember, Sununu is quite literally on borrowed time. His current term as New Hampshire's senator is even more illegitimate than Bush's first term as president, given the phone back scandal. Since the convictions there, his prospects for re-election have been dim.

5. Our Friends To The North Are Conservative - Not Republican

I believe that the good folks in NH recognize that
1. today's Republicans have nothing to do with Conservatism
2. actual Conservatives are much closer to Democrats than to Republicans these days

6. You're right, Manny.

Not only conservative, also egalitarian. And that's not necessarily a contradiction. These folks are the old timey Republicans; the ones who founded the party, backed Lincoln and abolition, sent their sons to set other men free. Moreover, they detest arrogance.

From the NH constitution, Article 10, the Bill of Rights: Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection and security of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, of right ought to, reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

These folks are glacial; slow to move, but implacable once they get going. Sununu is on his way out. Gregg may not be far behind him.
