One Bright Spot in a Brutal Cycle: New Hampshire Dems Admit They’re Losing the Shaheen Seat

Unfortunately, there hasn't been a ton of great news for Republicans coming out of recent polls. Even in places where the GOP should be far ahead (like Texas), the polls are tight. In the case of the Paxton/Talarico race, Talarico even sometimes leads.

One tiny bright spot may be New Hampshire.

It's been a long time since New Hampshire elected a Republican to national office. Sununu has a real chance. 

The state has not elected a Republican to the Senate since 2010. But Chris Pappas, the likely Democratic nominee, anticipates a tough race against a well-known opponent, John E. Sununu. In recent weeks, a tide of anxiety has risen among Democrats in the Granite State who are concerned that a party with big dreams of expanding its map could let the seat left open by the pending retirement of Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat, slip from its grasp.

It's so important for the GOP to make hay while the sun shines in this race. People must go vote.

Wouldn't that be beautiful? 

Your lips to God's ears.

This is some silver lining in a really cruddy election cycle. Now the GOP needs to bring it on home.

When Democrats are worried, that's good for America.
