Great video. Wish everyone could see it!
My guess is that they just printed a few more absentee ballots!
Andy Smith says, "Perhaps the largest factor, though, is demographic change."
Sorry but I worked on the Carol Shea Porter candidacy and I know what people told me when talking to them. Many, many Republicans told me they would not vote for a Republican this round and that for the first time in their lives would vote a straight Democratic ticket. They were disgusted with their party; as well they should be. Our Republicans lost their way about 5-6 years ago with their hardball politics and their "it's our way or the highway" attitude. The party split and honest moderates came to support moderate Democrats. Also our large group of Libertarians shifted from Republican to Democrat. A few won in local races.
Andy Smith hasn't been correct with his polling in years and few people listen to what he has to say these days.
Wow, I wasn't sure I'd support Hilary if she ran, but now this gives me a great reason. Where do I send money?
I strongly believe that because my state, NH has optical scan and hand counting of ballots, we voted the way the rest of the country would have, had they had trusted machinery and trusted poll workers.
NH could be the roll model for the country!

Giuliani’s Tie to Texas Law Firm May Pose Risk

I can not say with enough venom, that Giuliani represents the same ole, same ole, as George Bush and his Texas Bushmen. They have lined Guiliani up as the next great savior and have Fred sitting in the wings if Guiliani falls. Republicans will be led down the war mongering path again!
I don't care! Everyone knows someone who has gone to jail!
No more dynasties! Bill was fine for 8 years, but enough is enough!
