In 2002, the high-water mark for Bush’s popularity, John Sununu squeaked out a 4% win versus Jeanne Shaheen. In 2006, the blue wave absolutely decimated the GOP in New Hampshire. And now Shaheen is back.
“I have stepped have down from my position at the Kennedy School of Government because we have major problems facing this country,” she said in the statement, “and there is an urgent need for real change in Washington.
“We have proven in New Hampshire that we can work together to get things done. I want to take that common sense approach to Washington and help this country move in the right direction,” Shaheen said.
I see this as a pick up and her popularity should help the Democrat win the 4 EC votes here as well.
