---It's worth noting that Smith, Rubens, and Testerman are still polling worse against Shaheen than Brown is, although Smith isn't polling much worse - his average deficit against Shaheen is only about 10 points, just 3 points worse than Brown.
Testerman dropped out and endorsed Smith. And yes, Brown is doing best in polling right now, but I'd be willing to bet that if he were to win the nomination, Rubens would do better against Shaheen than Brown. He's strong on gun rights, believes in global warming/cares about the environment, and actually has a concrete proposal for a replacement to Obamacare (rather than just "repeal"). He's also from New Hampshire.
He has dubious ties here. Moderation doesn't mean a thing when you aren't even from the state.
Exactly. It's hard to see why so few people understand that. Especially given how hostile most NH residents feel toward "Taxachusetts."
If he wanted to do good by carpetbagging, he'd move to Maine and primary LePage.
That'd be hilarious. He'd probably lose badly though. He really should have run for Governor of Masachusetts; I think Baker would have deferred to him.
