NH-02 a Top Tier Pickup Opportunity

by: Dean Barker

Thu Nov 11, 2010 at 19:50:17 PM EST


435 races to rank, and First Read puts little ol CD2 of New Hampshire in the number two slot of top Dem pickup opportunities:
Here's a stab at a potential Top 20 House Dem target list with the following criteria: low GOP winning number, closeness of the race, presidential district leanings/tightness, and the intangible quality of incumbent.
Poor Charlie hasn't even been sworn in yet to officially break his Contract with America pledge to serve only six terms.

To be fair, the seventh-termer-elect did say he wanted to get in and get out.  So now it looks like he'll get his chance.

Charlie on a merry-go-round revolving doorish thing, but really its the Capitol dome, rotating, with an cgi of Charlie on a pony, riding up and around and in and out, accumulating money bags.

for transparency sake ~I represent Union print shops

Would make it #1 (0.00 / 0)
Charlie is even weaker than the fool who beat Jim Oberstar.  In 2010, he was a lousy candidate and ran a pathetic campaign.  

I Hope (0.00 / 0)
Annie is going to be a candidate again.

Sure, I voted for less government and less government spending...just NOT the parts that I benefit from!
