This comes as no surprise to many of us, but Governor John Lynch will not for Senate in 2008 against John Lynch:

I've heard for awhile now from his staff that he had no interest, but this seems to confirm it. This puts Democrats in a tough spot, as there are few high-profile Dems in this state. Former Governor Jeanne Shaheen is a possiblity, as are some of the State Senators, but we don't seem to have that knockout candidate that we can be confident about.
It will be interesting to see who Chuck Schumer recruits for this race, as it should be one of our top 3 or 4 targets in 2008 Senate elections.
