I've been waiting for the presidential primary season to pass over before getting back on track with the Senate races. As you undoubtedly know, the season is not over despite earlier CW claiming Super Tuesday would settle all scores. I am about to leave on a short vacation, so I will be back in a week or so with new updates. But, here's one to leave you with that should be encouraging:

Despite some polls over the holidays showing Jeanne Shaheen trailing John Sununu in New Hampshire, our good friend at Politics1.com tells us that a "new UNH poll shows former Governor Jeanne Shaheen (D) leading US Senator John Sununu (R) by a vote of 54% to 37%." The earlier polls showing Shaheen losing were disturbing since NH was looking like a lock for a Dem pick-up in November. Those polls came out around the time Shaheen's husband made derogatory comments about Senator Barack Obama, which as you will recall backfired on him personally and on Senator Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. (Mr. Shaheen was Clinton's NH campaign chairman.) It may be that the earlier polls simply captured a short-term anger at Shaheen's husband. Whatever the case, it now appears we are back on track for a pick-up.
