**With Obama in office two years from now the advantage might be to the GOP.***
Now that Obama is going to sign his stimulus plan in the next few days, he is going to own the economy. Although the majority is skeptical of the stimulus plan, they willing to support it to see if Obama can work some magic on the economy. If economic conditions improve in the 6 months, then we are finished. Socialism will be change Americans believe in. OTOH, if economic conditions worsen, then perhaps Americans will finally snap out of the Messiah worship.
hopefully there are other candidates. Four others are listed at this link with my comments ... I do not claim to be fully informed on these 4, but here goes:
Frank Guinta (R) - Manchester Mayor ... enjoys support from the Right.
Steve Merrill (R) - Ex-Governor & Ex-Attorney General ... conservative, but has his detractors.
Tom Rath (R) - Ex-Attorney General, Ex-RNC Member ... can we call him a RINO? not a movement conservatative.
John Stephen (R) ... strong support from pro-lifers. Doubtful he could get the nomination for Senate. Hopefully, he will be the next congressman.
Charlie Bass, major league pro-abort.
