We’re just back from the local polls here in Gilford, NH. Typically, this town has been a GOP stronghold. In the 2006 election, the Republicans won most seats here with very small margins, which translated into losses statewide. Sadly, it looks like a rerun of 2006, which means a good night for Democrats.
Here are the numbers:
President
- (R) McCain: 2292
- (D) Obama: 2246
Governor:
- (D) Lynch: 2977
- (R) Kenney 1408
US Senator:
- (R) Sununu: 2371
- (D) Shaheen: 2054
Congress Dist 1:
- (R) Bradley: 2299
- (D) Shea-Porter: 2073
State Senate District 4:
- (D) Sgambati: 2261
- (R) Knytych: 1919
This doesn’t bode well for Republicans here in the Granite State. The Democrats were well-financed, well-organized, and highly motivated (helped in part by the gay activists controlling much of the Democratic party machinery up and down the ladder).
