Inspired by all the election analysis, and unable to leave a spreadsheet alone, I made a quick comparison of something I had been wondering about. I had no good reason to wonder, and I'm not sure what the results mean. I can't really even swear they're accurate, although I tried to be careful.
I pasted the NHPR town-by-town data for Carol Shea-Porter and Jeanne Shaheen, manually removing the towns in which CSP was not running. But in the towns where they were both on the ballot, it looks like CSP received a total of 2700 more votes than Shaheen.
I was surprised. I had actually thought Shaheen had better name recognition, and in the "Democratic tsunami" that recognition would have gotten her more votes than Shea-Porter. Guess I was wrong. Shea-Porter had higher vote totals in 52 of 79 towns.
The full spreadsheet is 80 or so lines, so I don't want to post it, but I would be happy to email it. Apologies in advance if I made mistakes on this.
In case anyone wants to look for patterns, here are the towns of Strafford County, and the vote differential (CSP vote minus Shaheen vote):
