Guess NH doesn’t care for carpetbaggers.
It didn’t bother New York in 2000. Besides, many New Hampshire voters are Massachusetts transplants.
Shaheen is more of a carpetbagger than Brown is. He does have generations of family buried in New Hampshire and he was raised there. Shaheen is from Missouri. Give it time. If he can close it to 4 points, Dems will lose money defending her.

50% for an incumbent this early in the season is not a good sign. If I were Shaheen, I would be cancelling my vacation in Tom Harkin's Elbow Quay hideaway in the Bahamas.
Polls like this tend to reflect the top end for incumbents, so it suggests that Shaheen can't do better than 50%. Brown, even though he is fairly well known, has a potential upside. It remains to be seen if he can capitalize on this upside potential, but it's there for the taking. Shaheen should be worried.
It’s too early. Wait til Shaheen gets the Obamacare necklace treatment.
This will be a close race. Brown is a very likeable rino. And I predict that he wins by 2%.
And if Brown is a “carpetbagger” than so is half of NH. The half that escaped from Taxachusetts.
I think that if incumbent Shaheen is only 9 points ahead of somebody who hasn't even formally announced yet, she's in some serious trouble.
Sadly unlike Massachusetts, whose voters tossed Brown out to elect Fauxcahontas (Elizabeth Warren, the fake Indian) from Oklahoma, and who have twice elected Deval Patrick (Obama's Mini-Me) from Chicago, as governor. And oh yeah: the Senator that Scott Brown would like to replace, Jeanne Shaheen - she's from Missouri.
