Lean D. I am probably going to support Maggie Hassan over Kelly Ayotte mostly due to the fact that Kelly Ayotte is strongly opposed to the Iran deal and is an advocate of a neoconservative foreign policy agenda. I don't know what Hassan's position on the Iran deal is, but I would assume that it is better than Ayotte's.

Ugh, at least these two mediocre people will be running against each other so they might at least get a decent governor. I liked Hassan as a governor a little but certainly not as a Senator.

Called it. GO AYOTTE!


What?

Anyway, I'll say that Ayotte is as vulnerable as Mark Kirk. NH is a deep blue state and white soccer moms will turn out in record numbers to vote for Clinton and Hassan. Ayotte is a strong campaigner (she got 60% (!!!) in NH in 2010), so that may just barely save her. Leans D.

Excellent news! Time to crush the insufferable hawk wing of the GOP.

Tossup Senate, Tilt R Governorship (because of Sununu)

John Sununu will be 77 years old by the time of the 2016 elections.....I would be amazed if he runs again.

If you mean Chris Sununu,  he isn't as big of a name as his father.

Chris has actually announced his candidacy for the governor, so I REALLY doubt John Sununu will run at his age "and" against his son.

Of course i meant Chris. He is 1 of the 5 Executive Councillors - and that's already worth of something. Famous name is always plus too. In addition - he seems (at least - relatively) to be the most moderate member of this family, and this is also a plus in purple state like this one.

He's in the most conservative council district in the state (easily...).    I don't think it represents the state all that well.

But he is surely less conservative then Kenney (1st district) and Wheeler (5th). More so then Van Ostern (2nd) and Pappas (4th), but, after all, they are Democrats... So, he stands "in the center" of a council, which reflects purple character of the state rather well...

Now this should get interesting. Both the governors race and the Senate race are toss-ups.

NH will be fun to watch in 2016.

Both are toss-ups IMO

With Strickland leading and Murphy as well, Dems can win 5 seats.

He voted to defund Planned Parenthood in the state based on fake videos.   He's a conservative through and through.

The Dems have recruited a strong bench and are in a good position to retake the chamber. The only real wrench in the works is Pennsylvania: no obviously strong candidate here and Toomey is quite formidable.

Eh, if the rest of the dominoes fall then either a) Democrats won't need Pennsylvania or b) there will be such a large tide that Toomey gets pulled down anyway. Sure it'd be nice to have a more formidable Dem candidate there, but it's not the end of the world.

What?

It's this very strange personal vendetta of his.  Let it go.  NH is as much of a red state as it is a blue state right now (split Senate delegation, split House delegation, split state governance), but that would never get in the way of him INSISTING that NH is like the most liberal state there is...

No. After that video no republican could reasonably vote for continuing funding. And he said that directly. He voted FOR funding Planned Parenthood in the state BEFORE that, and he mentioned that too. I doubt that i (absolutely pro-choice) could vote for continued funding during this controversy.

I totally agree, the DSCC must be really happy this cycle, they have some really solid recruits. I would also add Duckworth to this list, I think she'll cruise past her opponent in the primary and solidly defeat Mark Kirk. Don't think the GE will be all that close in the end

I just realized that if Hassan wins, New Hampshire will be represented in the Senate by two former governors. Are there any current examples of that?
