I presume based on context that you meant to say they're looking to pick up a seat.

Edit: thanks for clarifying.

...but it's open again in November when Dems should have the turnout advantage.

Makes little difference in the present GOP House majority.

Something we should be for. Unlike other states someone running for the legislature does not have to be rich.

Are you uncomfortable reading news that isn't pro-Democratic? Personally, I'll go with reality.

Right now, the entire New Hampshire Government is Republican. The Assembly has been on a knife's edge for control for the past six months. I'm interested in the outcome of any race that affects our ability to gain control. Perhaps you don't care?

They need to worry about the psycho at the top and how he's not going to play to anyone in America who's sane.
