3. I don't think you have caught up with the times

In 2004, Kerry took NH. NH has two Congressional Representatives, both first termers, both Democrats. The Governor of NH is a Democrat. The State House and State Senate are majority Democratic for the first time in a long long while.

NH USED TO BE Republican, up until George Bush. \
Current US Senator Sununu, (R) is being outpolled in current polls by his Democratic rival, former Dem Governor Jeanne Sheheen.
