1. That is great

2. This is huge for Senate Democrats.

Sununu would have been a major threat to Hassan.

8. Not quite

Moves one senate seat from an almost certain loss to a tossup or lean-D.

A significant improvement - but we'll have to fight for this one.

3. Kelly Ayotte???

That dummy?

4. This is good news for us.

5. Good!

I don't think he wanted to risk a Senate loss - he sees himself as a presidential candidate. All the same, Sen. Hassan will have a good chance to coast to reelection. Kelly Ayotte is incredibly stupid and won't be a threat if she runs.

This also counters the relentless drumbeating media narrative that all is DOOM, DOOM, GLOOM for Democrats - hard to square that narrative with a huge recruitment failure like this.

6. Do not think she will "coast"; still considered most at-risk of Democratic incumbents.

9. She'll Coast

Have you seen the clownshow they're planning on running against her? She's also very popular.
