NH-1

State Sen. Andy Sanborn (R-Bedford) met with NRCC officials in Washington this week and is very seriously considering a run for NH-1 next year

One more ultraconservative, i suppose?

[MAINEiac4434]

Good luck.

Sweeeet!   He's in a district Clinton won by 4 points!   Holy crap that would be a stupid move of the NH GOP...

[jbm4pres]

Dan Innis should try running again now that he's a State Senator. Might give him a better launching pad and he's a moderate figure due to the whole gay thing.

It's not as if the NH GOP has any chance of winning anything in NH anyway. CSP and Annie Kuster aren't going to be beaten by anyone, so they might as well put up random sacrificial lambs.

Trump won NH-1 by 2 points. Clinton won NH-2 by 2 points. Both are extremely close and could really swing either way based on the national mood. I really don't get why there's so much hate for New Hampshire on this forum :/

It's literally just TNVol.

As for Sanborn, I sincerely hope he loses. Not a nice/good guy, and it'll be good to get him out of that State Senate seat regardless. It's gerrymandered Republican, but I'm convinced that a good Dem candidate (with low turnout in Bedford) could probably flip it.

I personally dont know too much about the guy tbh, I'm from Hampstead so I wouldnt know much about a Bedford rep. Personally i'd prefer Dan Innis. I worked for him a few years ago, and he legitimately seemed like a nice guy. But i think he may stay in his Seacoast senate district for the time being

Innis would be the strongest candidate, but I don't see him running next time. Sanborn and Burt don't have prayer. Edwards is a nice guy, but I don't think he can beat CSP

If not Innis - who else (preferrably NOT ultraconservative)?

I don't know if there's anyone out there right now.

John Stephens who ran for governor in '10 is a name I've heard mentioned. He's more on the moderate side. Another person who I think could beat her is former State Rep Adam Schroadter. He's in line with  more liberty/Paul type Republicans but also is moderate on issues like abortion. With the right money he could go far.

Normally I would say Rich Ashooh but after his loss to Guinta in a winnable primary I think he's out of contention.

What's wrong with you just supporting CSP's reelection? I'm a Republican and even I have her banner in my signature .
I don't really think the race is winnable for Republicans, it's money and time better spent elsewhere.

There's also Nancy Stiles, Ted Gatsas, and Chuck Morse.

Because CSP is a complete hack whose honestly a reprehensible human being if you've ever met her. She doesn't have the best interest of the district at heart and would be more at home in Massachusetts. She's literally never done anything for the district. And as right wing as I am I'd happily support a centrist deal making RINO over this partisan hack who just votes pelosi's line on everything

I think Chuck Morse is from Salem which is in NH-2 (don't understand why either)

I've met her in person before and she's incredible nice and polite.   Her first campaign for the district in 2006 was ran entirely by volunteer staff (even her campaign manager).   She's probably more liberal than what the district really is, but that doesn't make her a bad candidate.    She just has real values that she sticks too.   She's refused corporate donations in the past (I don't know if she still does or not).

I agree with you. She's a nice and pleasant person and does stick to her principles, which is admirable in today's age. She's more out of step with the District politically, but that being said finding someone who can beat her will be difficult.

As for Stiles and Gatas, I don't see either running for CD 1, and if they did I don't think either would win.

IMHO - weak candidate and weak politician. In addition - i usually consider districts with PVI from D+5 to R+5 as a "natural moderate territory" (where else thay may be elected???), more suitable for them then for "activists" of all sorts..

I wish Stephens had run again in 2012 for Governor. He would have done a lot better.

Agreed, he might have beaten Maggie, or at least done better than Ovide Lamontange.

Just throwing the idea around but how'd Scott brown do in Dist-1 in the senate race? I know he actually did pretty well on the seacoast and in the southern areas. Doubt he'd wanna run for the house after being a senator though

Oh, god no. Haha.

[Strudelcutie4427]

Shea-Porter and Kuster are both excellent fits for their districts. And lol, Stephens wouldn't have beaten Hassan. No one would have.

Such excellent fits that neither got a majority against a corrupt dude and some guy who was never supposed to be competitive

If I have to sit through another Scott Brown campaign ad, I'm gonna shoot myself. That dude should stay out of politics forever.
