The GOP is breaking up into two minority factions. Each would rather see the other lose than beat most Democrats.
This means that when the RATs nominate a normal-appearing person (i.e., a stealth moonbat), they have a good chance in many places.
Of course, the RATs can't always help themselves, the moonbats all have "Be As You Are" bumper stickers, so occasionally you get a McGovern clone to run against.
In NH, the former RAT governor is wildly popular - when she was in office, she balanced the budget and kept her moonbats hidden away in agencies (where they did a lot of hidden damage).
But she looks normal, seems "nice", and our trucons-socons aren't buying the Sununu RINO Kool-Aid - so I have to bet this seat is lost.
In NH-1 CD, though, the incumbent RAT is a loud and proud moonbat, and I don't imagine she'll be going back. Our trucon-socons WILL come out to vote against her, even though her opponent (Jeb Bradley) has a fairly high RINO index.
