Bass wants his old northern NH seat back, but it's not going to be cheap, and Bass hasn't proven he's on par with either of his Dem rivals' fundraising abilities. Bass raised $170K last quarter and had $360K in the bank. That's well below attorney Ann McLane Kuster (D), who raised $316K and has $745K lying around, and Katrina Swett (D), who pulled in $188K and has $1.15M, largely left over from an aborted Senate bid in '08.
Bass is going to face a big problem that every GOPer in recent years has run into -- a problem named John Lynch. The Dem governor has a great political machine, and that should help turn out voters for either Dem winner. The GOP needs to build a strong machine to get its voters out for competitive House and SEN races.
I think that last point is worth remembering. The Lynch factor, if he campaigns vigorously with Democrats up and down the ticket, could be powerful.
