"SNIP.....

A new Emerson College poll in New Hampshire finds Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) with an 11-point lead over newly-nominated Donald Bolduc (R), leading 51% to 40%.

.....SNIP"

1. yeah that should be a "gimme"

[honest.abe]

3. But that's a pickup and BFD.

Current Gov is an R.

[WarGamer]

4. *Senate race, right?

Currently held by Hassan.

[honest.abe]

6. Right.. sorry my mistake.

Thanks for the correction. Too many elections to keep track of!!

[WarGamer]

8. tons of them!!

7. No, it's a Democratic retain - this is for Hassan's existing Senate seat

The poll says Sununu has a healthy lead in the race for his governorship, unfortunately (he's Republican, but distancing himself from the crazies). But keeping Hassan in the Senate is still good news - she had earlier been seen as "vulnerable".

[honest.abe]

9. Yep. got it now.

11. NH is always a bit fickle. Not nuts like red 'murka, but fickle.

In a just world Hassan should be wiping the floor with an SS gruppenfurher, but in NH, with it's libertarian vibe, that is very encouraging.

13. we dodged a massive bullet when Sununu declined to run for the seat

[WarGamer]

15. seems to be super popular.

[Celerity]

16. as are Baker in Massachusetts, Hogan in Maryland, and Phil Scott in Vermont, all 3 being Blue states

17. thx Celerity, a bit surprising.

[honest.abe]

2. Oh WOW.. that is great news indeed!

5. She needs to be doingbettef

By pounding this guy for his extreme ideas. He actually has stated that ending purported voter fraud means stopping students from voting. That’s a huge deal that must be made to a nationwide audience, not just in NH.

12. Nationwide audience? Only New Hampshire-ites can vote for her, so her efforts will have to go there

If you want her message to go nationwide, you’ll have to think of another way.

[ZonkerHarris]

10. Hodor!

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. Bolduc is a full-blown crackpot.

I hope Maggie whups his sorry ass.
