Democrat Daler sweeps 5 towns in special District 4 election

In a contest that some regarded as a barometer of the state’s current political climate, Daler won all five towns in the district, topping Kucmas even in his home town of New Boston, which is also a traditional GOP stronghold.

State Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley weighed in on Daler’s victory later Tuesday night.

“Jen Daler’s massive victory tonight is a complete and total rejection of the reckless Republican agenda that Bill O’Brien has been forcing upon Granite Staters,” Buckley wrote in a statement.

Buckley said the result sends a “loud and clear message” that “right to work for less, defunding and destroying public education, the irresponsible House Republican budget, and the rest of the Republican job killing agenda …is at odds with New Hampshire values.”

The special election in New York (house of reps seat, national) is now just a week away, momentum has finally tipped the race towards Democrat Kathy Hochul. After weeks of intense campaigning in a race that was supposed to be easily won by Republican Jane Corwin, the Rothenburg Report has now dubbed the seat "Toss Up/ Tilts Democratic."

Republicans hoped to sway momentum back in their favor by attacking Tea Party candidate Jack Davis, but according to the Report, chipping away at Davis's support doesn't appear to actually be converting voters to Corwin, like the GOP had assumed.

Two possible reasons? Corwin's support from the key players in the national Republican party, as well as her support of the Ryan plan to eliminte Medicare, may be turning off voters in her district who aren't as accepting of the plan to eliminate the social safety net. Also, having the Tea Party Express campaigning on her behalf, when the Tea Party group is at its lowest popularity yet, may be doing more harm than good.
