Today's a happy day for NH Dems like me! Please go to Tomorrowsprogressives.com if you like this!
I'll not mix words. I'm a steadfast NH Democrat. I'm really a huge supporter of Paul Hodes, and I want him to win.
So, would it be a bad thing to say that I really am enjoying the Tea Party right now? In case you don't know, Sarah Palin and common knowledge endorsed our state's failure of a AG, Kelly Ayotte, whilst Jim DeMint and the Union Leader endorsed Ovide Lamontagne, a ultra-wingnuttish Teapublican. However, I want this Teapublican to be the Republican. Why?
BECAUSE IT'S GREAT FOR PAUL HODES!
Nate Silver, the excellent psychic-pollster at fivethirtyeight.com, has Kelly Ayotte, in a presumptive race against Hodes, wins 85% of the time. But fear not, Lamontagne, the NH Republican who's shaping up to be a North Country Sharron Angle, probably loses to Paul Hodes!
It's looking better and better for the Dems. If the Tea Brigade keeps winning, and the GOPers start considering voting against tax cuts for the bottom 98%, in a holdout for the top 2%, we could win 5 Senate seats and 50 in the house.
Now, Democrats- keep working!
