well, BHO did go on and on about "reaching across the aisle", "changing the way things are done in washington", & etc. and one of his five personalities is "reasonable moderate", after all. but yes, he should have known better.
gregg is still not going to run for reelection in '10, which probably isn't good news.
Only because he knows damn good and well whoever comes out of the Dem primary (Hodes/Lynch/Nadeau) would have beaten him, mostly because of the liberal invasion, and partly because he's a slimy little shit to begin with.
Will Sununu run again? Who knows? Personally, I think the person who WAS going to replace him (Newman) would be a decent replacement. If Hodes DOES win the primary, it's an excellent chance to make a nice swing in NH back to the red side.
Consider:
--He wouldn't be able to run for both the Senate and House in the same election cycle. If the economy stays in the tank, backlash against the Democrats would likely keep him from winning a statewide election, and given his somewhat narrow margins in both his campaigns, a solid conservative candidate could take the House seat as well. Couple that with the idiot Che-Porter getting her head handed to her, and we're back to both Reps. and a Senator back in GOP hands.
