You're asking TN Volunteer to make an unbiased analysis about New Hampshire?
I don't really think I am biased, just realistic. I wish Climbing Maggie would lose, but I'm not going to fool myself into thinking this race is a Tossup or winnable for Republicans.
Anyway, I think they both did pretty well (even though Ayotte was a little better IMO). Hassan didn't repeat her scripted talking points as much as she did in the past, but these debates don't really matter in NH since Hassan is so much more popular than Ayotte and both Hassan and Shaheen "lost" their debates in 2014 and still won very easily despite the Republican wave.
I expect no change in the polls. There really was no perceived winner either.
Funny, I didn't know that winning by 3 points was winning "very easily". Sounds like a pretty close race to me. This also igores that Hassan was leading by 20 points in September and Shaheen was winning by about 10. They trended downward significantly in October, but unlike Hagan and A. Brown, managed to run out the clock.
