You’re absolutely right, but not unheard of. Whatever NH does won’t be great news, but one less vote for Reid will stick in his craw. At least he’d make Ayotte look good by comparison.
I don't like Scott Brown at all. But what you said really is the bottom line. Constitutionally, these are very dangerous times. When it comes to the Senate, I'll take any GOPe (or GOP dem-light, or whatever) over the pure socialist dem alternative.
