On the House side we have two Reps here in NH, both Republicans. Both have favorables above 55%. Polling by a respected local University researcher.
Yet, these seats have been considered potential pick ups for the Dems.
My wife asked a Dim State party official how much the national party was going to spend here and the answer was "nothing at the moment."
Its almost like they're trying to create hype on these seats pretending they may switch in hopes their fantasies will come true.
They did the same thing in 2002 when Tom Lantos daughter, Katrina Sweet, ran against Bass. She was a media darling and was going to knock off Charlie with big $$$ from Stephen Spielberg. Bass beat her by 10%.
