NH Went *completely* Blue

[adapa]

gov--Lynch reelected
Hodes beat incumbent congressman Bass(R)
Shea-Porter beat incumbent congressman Bradley(R)
State Senate goes Democratic for the second time since 1911.
AND it looks as tho the state house will be Democratic too..

OMG, I actually live in a BLUE STATE, how sweet it is

When asked for a last word a prominent repub replied, "One comes to mind but you'd have to bleep it".

1. Hodes! Fantastic!!!

[texpatriot2004]

2. CONGRATULATIONS! How good for you and NH nm

[adapa]

3. AND Shea-Porter is our first Woman congessman!!

[TheDonkey]

4. great for NH!

[NastyRiffraff]

5. CONGRATS New Hampshire!

This is GREAT news!!

[Altean Wanderer]

6. From one NHerite to another congratulations

I voted for Hodes and he won - wow! Incredible about Carol Porter. Too bad our Repug senators weren't up this time around.

7. As a Mainer I'd like to say that New Hampshireites may be..

...cheap, but they're not mean. ;-)

NH, the Loebs excepted, was always the essence of old-school Republicanism. Civic virtue, frugality with the public purse, and such.

This half-assed 'Modern' Repbulicanism is really another critter all together.

I am not surprised to see the Granite State abandon the GOP.

9. As an ex-Mainer

I have to say I would have been sorry to see Olympia go.
But Carol Shea-Porters win is very Sweet - Bradly is such a dufus.

10. Is now the time I should start bragging?

:D

[adapa]

12. Good for you, you deserve to brag !

It is indeed a happy day in NH

[nuxvomica]

16. What's more surprising is how the pundits ignored this race

Shea-Porter was climbing fast in the polls and had developed a strong ground force that helped her defeat the DCCC pick in the primary. But the district was on everybody's safe-Repub list. The DNC should make a study of her campaign. I don't think it was just the wave that won the seat, though it was certainly a factor.

[Kermitt Gribble]

11. Yeah NH!!!!!

Live free or die!!!!

[BamaLefty]

13. I was pleasantly surprised!

And don't forget, Kerry turned NH blue in 04... so we've got a little streak going!

And you mentioned living in a blue state - would you believe that the reddest of all red states, Alabama, is electing good liberal Dems for the Supreme Court Chief Justice and Lt Governor as well? It's awesome!

[adapa]

14. where I'm from Kerry's win was seen as a fluke

Now it's confirmed, we are Blue

Bush has suceded in driving the old style republicans away from their party.

[Silent3]

15. I guess that three hours...

...I spent this morning waving a John Lynch/Paul Hodes sign paid off! :)

I'm really happy that NH gets to be a part of the new Democratic majority in the House.

[dicknbush]

17. Well if they had only been in their right minds in 2000...

We wouldn't be in this mess today but I guess better late then never!

[windbreeze]

18. Any state who's motto is..."Live Free or Die" almost has to be

BLUE...Congratulations...much admiration for your lovely state from 3,000+ miles away...on the left coast...

19. Ya Lucky Bum!

We aren't doin' too badly down here in New York..and the big news is we have a Democratic Congressman from the 24th District of New York that hasn't has one in 50 years! :patriot: :loveya:

[Arugula Latte]

20. It took you awhile, but you came to your senses, New Hampshire!

Great job! :toast:

[Eurobabe]

21. HOLY SHIITE!! Hodes beat Bass???

Dad's very happy!

[graywarrior]

22. Ain't it great?
