This time around it seems I will most likely be voting Dem for the NH positions in Washington and governor but most of the locals will still be republican. Of course, most local positions are uncontested.

There is a woman running against an incumbent, Sen. Bradley.

Not that Bradley has done a really bad job, he just hasn't done much. Very much a under-the-radar type guy. Not what we need now.

Carol Shea-Porter is a grass roots Dem, she knocked the established and DNC supported candidate off the ballot by working hard, actually taking a position and answering the questions.

Can she win, YES. Will she win... I don't know, NH is a fiercely independent state that leans republican.

But I'll vote for her. So far it seems she has done this all her self with little money so I don't think her vote is bought and paid for like most politicians.

It will be interesting to see how things turn out on Tuesday.
