The Sununus are on the outs, as John E. Sununu lost his Senate seat in 2008 after only one term.
2008 was the year when the disastrous Bush regime and John “you have nothing to fear from Sen. 0bama” McCain dragged the Rebublicans down to defeat. People learn from their experience. The St. legislature is now controlled by Republicans. The incumbent Demonrat Gov. looked at the state of affairs and decided to retire. We may get a conservative R. gov. next time around.
