Will Republicans triage New Hampshire any time soon?

Or is the next cycle going to be when they finally flip it (only for them to predictably lose it again and having to come up with another revisionist excuse as to why the state was clearly/easily winnable for them if not for circumstances conspiring against them this time).

The argument that NH is "susceptible to large swings" is not only very debatable but also rather disingenuous: When NH did have large swings at the federal level in recent cycles, they all tended to benefit Democrats, something that is usually not brought up by the same people pointing to the state's supposed 'elasticity.'

It seems like the narrative that NH is a swing state at the federal level is based primarily on two races: NH-PRES 2000 and NH-SEN 2010. It really seems to be the GOP's FL in many ways, although Democrats are at least smart enough to figure out that FL is practically gone for them. What’s behind the NH obsession? The desire to win at least one New England state?
