New England 2014 Congressional Races

[smoltchanov]

Kuster doesn't impress me too much, but Lambert (and other candidates i know in NH-02) seem too conservative to me in this Democratic-leaning district in more-less neutral year. Republicans would need some social moderate (Bob Odell?) here.

In NH-01 Guinta will, most likely, win primary, though Innis would be, most likely, better general election candidate

In Massachusetts MA-06, and, may be MA-09 are the only of interest, but lot depends on candidate recruitment, scandals (as Tierney case has shown) and other factors.

In Maine ME-02 will be very interesting IF Raye wins primary, but only in such case

All other racesare unlikely (so far) to produce surprises.

Jeannie Forrester would be a good candidate as well

Is not she a social conservative? If so - not especially good recommendations for this district.

Then - who in NH-02? Usually, when it sent Republicans to House, they (even Gregg, even more so - Bass) were not especially conservative: more often - "typical New England Republicans". But, after tea-party growth, there are fewer such candidates now.
