SHAHEEN PROJECTED TO WIN NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATE RACE
ABC's BEN SIEGEL: Based on our exit poll and our analysis of the vote in so far, ABC News projects that New Hampshire Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen has won re-election against Republican candidate Scott Brown. Brown, a former Massachusetts senator, shocked the political world in 2010 by winning the seat long held by the late Ted Kennedy.

It is discouraging. Such a beautiful state, filled with such political lameness.
Coakley is the spawn of Satan of course
You’re right...the northeast kingdom is all that remains of once-conservative Vermont. You can still see the faded ‘Take Vermont Back’ messages painted on barns here and there in the northern rural areas...
OMG...I am so going to steal (and adapt) that one!
I was laundry “queen” and that moron confronted me on getting contraband from the vending machines.
I set his ass down and explained his short life to him.
I have never met an idiot such as that ever again.
Yeah. I know. What the heck am I supposed to do?
I take voting seriously, and always have.
But, good gosh. Is this what I have to do, election after election after election?
It is discouraging. I can’t give money to the Republican party, they are so far now from my political beliefs that I just cannot do it.
I have long considered myself a Tea Partyer...my dad was a politician back in the Seventies, and was one of the plank owners (I think) of Citizens for Limited Taxation in this state. I feel more comfortable with that heritage.
Wasn’t Brown leading in the polls? And the info on Shaheen and the IRS came out too late? Ugly.
Too many effing domestic enemies who fled Massachusetts to f.u NH.
bump
I don’t know how you can stand it
I have a house and another beautiful lot. Due to new state regs, I cannot build on the lot—but it still gets lakefront taxes. Go figure.
Sorry. Didn’t mean to be confrontational. This day always brings out the worst frustration in me.
“Sure, he is better than Martha Coakley in the way a fossilized dog turd is less offensive than a fresh one.”
LOL! you do know how to turn a phrase. well done.
What a shame about not just NH and VT but all of New England. That used to be the most Conservative and Christian part of America. Sad that the land of Calvin Coolidge has embraced Karl Marx.
If you look at the long line of American history, New England is where political parties go to die.
This is upsetting. Not surprising, but upsetting.
I have to love it here, or I am sunk, I will be unhappy.
I love my wife, and she isn’t leaving the state, so neither am I. I suppose if it were up to me, and I weren’t married to her, I would move somewhere else, but...I do love it here, political crap sandwich notwithstanding.
There is a huge amount of history, lots of culture, the mountains are close, the ocean is close, the landscape is hilly, green and beautiful, it has wonderful seasons, even the winter which I love.
Sigh. And then there are the Kerrys, Kennedys, Franks, Coakleys, Markeys, Warrens, and Studds of the world. This damn place seems full of them, everything I hate and despise in politics, and I feel as if I have to bear it because I don’t have any other choice.
And then when a candidate like Scott Brown comes along, I stupidly buy into it hook, line and sinker because I am so desperate to get some kind of political option that isn’t a far left, communist, socialist, anti-American hack.
Just, damn.
It is bloody maddening.
And such a gorgeous, beautiful state. Gah.
I despise what liberalism has done to this country.
If I were there, I’d probably just try to never think of politics. lol
Pretty much, that is it. I try not to think of it.
Around the mid to late Nineties, I completely stopped watching television (Except for pro football) and don’t read any papers or magazines anymore.
I just cannot stand any of it. My wife still watches, and I have to get up and leave the room. I detest television, it is the epitome of liberal cancer.
I went to vote today, and I did something for pretty much the first time: I just voted all republicans on the ticket without having any idea who they were.
It isn’t to say I didn’t vote all Republican before, but I used to try to look at the candidates. In this election, I only paid attention in advance to the ballot questions.
I blot out everything political...television, signs, calls, everything.
Sad. I sometimes feel like I should just give up voting, but I can’t bring myself to do it. So many sacrifices have been paid in the past to give me that option, and I feel I must go through the motions, if nothing else.
Brown now leading by about 600 votes. He isn’t conceding yet. 66 per cent in
