NH-SEN 2022 Megathread: General Dysfunction

[Roll Roons]

Take this with a grain of salt, but I dreamt that Ayotte will run for Senate.

she's running for something, and the local rumor mill is she's eyeing the corner office rather than her old senate seat. Of course, the intra-gop rumors just a few months ago were that Sununu wasn't going to run for anything in 2022.

Wouldn't be the first time a New England Republican gets elected governor after losing their Senate seat...

Tilt R if he's actually in.

[Roll Roons]

Yeah he's going for a fourth term as Gov.

[Roll Roons]

Lean D, you can't beat someone with no one

You can actually. Especially in New Hampshire where nobodies win races for State House all the time.

I really don't think you can compare a state house race, especially in New Hampshire of all places, to a U.S. Senate race.

Yeah, the GOP clearly has much better targets than New Hampshire...

It should also be noted that NH has a very late primary for non-presidential elections, so I wouldn't be surprised if we get a clown car of lower-tier candidates who try to out-crazy each other, causing the eventual nominee to be damaged for the general with little time to recover.

Much better than lunatic Bolduc. Let's see what happens here.
