New Hampshire

Thanks to the Almanac of American Politics:

In the 2006 Edition, the New Hampshire Senate was filled by 16 Republicans and 8 Democrats. Two years later, there's 14 Democrats and 10 Republicans. Six out of 24 seats flipped, a quarter.

In the 2006 Edition, the New Hampshire House was filled by 253 Republicans and 147 Democrats. Two years later, there's 239 Democrats and 161 Republicans. Ninety-two out of 400 seats flipped, slightly less than a quarter.

Nationally in the 2006 election, the Democrats did very nicely picking up 30 House seats and 6 Senate seats, which is about 6 percent of each body. Two of those seats were in New Hampshire. New Hampshire has two Congressman.

Call me crazy, but I don't think New Hampshire independents are going to vote for McCain. New Hampshire independents don't like Republicans very much.
