I think we'll be able to tell fairly early on election night how bad it's going to be

I think NH is a bellwether state this year. If Brown wins over Shaheen and Garcia wins over Kuster, it's hard not to conclude that it will be a shitty night.

1. That Scott Brown has a chance in hell against Shaheen is the fault of NH voters.

If that's what they want, then so be it.

15. “I gotta say it did not cross my mind,” Warren told supporters at the University of New Hampshire, “

“I gotta say it did not cross my mind,” Warren told supporters at the University of New Hampshire, “that after beating Scott Brown that what he would do is he would pack up his pickup truck and move to his vacation home in New Hampshire, to become the candidate to try to run against Jeanne Shaheen.”

2. Yeah, I think so too. It's going to be a tense night, races are so close, but I think the trend

will be set early. What gets me is people are always so pissed with congress, so, they want to vote more republicans in? I just can't believe republican values is what America really wants, to be run over even more. Damn, we live in really fucked up times.

3. working hard here in nh to keep that from happening.

tho I am not in kuster's district.

[Gothmog]

4. I think that this is accurate

[Bluenorthwest]

5. I don't buy into any of your assumptions....

Not one of them. Carry on.

6. Do you not believe that these are close races?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

7. Or how good.

9. Was just going to post that.

I prefer to be positive.

8. NH isn't the bellwether unless we're losing the Senate seat there early on.

Right now, I'd say that NH and NC are the difference between 53-55 Republicans in the Senate. So if we're clearly losing there early after the polls close, it's a very bad night.

But we could easily win both of them and still lose the Senate outright (meaning... prior to runoffs in LA/GA).

I'd say that KS/IA/GA are the bellweather states as things stand today... and GA closes before NC or NH

10. Kuster will be OK

Garcia is beginning to take on lots of water. A friend at one paper says they are on the verge of endorsing Kuster and lambasting Garcia, for her Tea Bagger views and her inability to form a coherent stand on just about anything.

My gut tells me Shaheen will win, but it will be a lot closer than it should be.

11. LET'S GOTV HARD AND MAKE IT A GOOD NIGHT WITH THE FOLLOWING:

Dems pickups of governorships including KS, Maine, FL, and PA (and others)

Dems HOLD the Senate

Dems pick up a few in the House


SO GET OUT THERE AND GOTV LIKE HELL

[RBInMaine]

12. This won't be an issue IF Dems/Progressives come out and VOTE !

If you don't vote, then DO NOT BITCH !

[Darb]

13. Nice framing.

"how bad it's going to be"

Well done.

[cali]

14. sorry, I don't do faux... anything. And faux good cheer about this election

doesn't make any sense to me. I hope like hell that we can hold on to the Senate, but in the circus of fear enveloping this country, that seems unlikely.

[Darb]

18. You are probably right about the "circus of fear"

it's unbelievable. We'll see. I am voting on election day, as I hope many will do.

[demwing]

16. A "Bellwether" state makes sense in a national election

But in a midterm, NH is only an indication of NH

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

17. Shaheen WILL win and could still be a shitty night
