Do you all not realize that Democrats have not nuked him yet? By the time election day rolls around he'll look much worse. And that isn't even taking into account how he has to handle keeping Trump away without alienating Trump voters.
They can nuke him, and that will cost him a lot of the Biden-Sununu voters he got in 2016, but probably not enough of them. Smearing Sununu as a partisan Republican would be a lot more effective if Hassan wasn't a partisan Democrat. It will come down to whether New Hampshire voters want the former or the latter, and there's no reason to expect the Democratic brand to be viewed more positively than the Republican one in 2022.
I still think Sununu would be a fool to take this race for granted because if he runs a poor campaign for whatever reason he could end up throwing this away, but Hassan better start taking this election seriously right now if she wants to win.
