I generally am pretty bad at this part of political blogging as I’m rarely right. However, I’m going to go there anyways.
National:
- US Senate: GOP wins 2 additional seats and ends up at 52. McConnell becomes, again, the Senate Majority Leader
- US House: GOP picks up 25 seats for a total of 241. McCarthy becomes the new Speaker of the House
NH:
- Governor: ho hum – Sununu by 30 points. Big whoop.
- Executive Council: Republicans hold the majority but Dems gain 1 seat.
- NH Senate: I dunno. Still guessing that the Republicans hold the majority but instead of 14-10 to 13-11. Bradley becomes the Senate President
- NH House: Republicans gain another 10 seats. The Speaker of the House race becomes REAL interesting. Packard will most likely run again. Will Osborne challenge him? How about someone coming in from right field? There’s some buzz going on. The telling points will be:
- What’s the turnout overall?
- Is the Republican majority the same (Packard?), a bit more (Osborne?) or a much larger majority (some unknown dark horse?).
Heh! Would they be willing to vote me in as Speaker? I could promise a rip-roaring time for all!
Naw, didn’t think so.
Bolduc by a handful of votes for US Senate. Leavitt wins beyond the margin of error. Kuster pulls out a squeaker (but won’t be surprised if Burns takes it).
