Brown as a carpet bagger ran very well against a very competent, and reasonably popular incumbent Senator. NH is still a very "in play," and unpredictable state. It has a relatively high elasticity. New England tends to be that way for various reasons, including the lack of a fundamentalist Christian block, that allows more fiscally conservative voters to coalesce to vote across party lines, given all the right circumstances. It is less an "us" versus "them" place than many places on the Fruited Plain. Upstate New York is the epicenter of that kind of sentiment.
