New Hampshire Republicans may win 20 State Senate seats!

November 2, 2010

  WMUR’s political expert is now predicting that New Hampshire Republicans may win 20 seats! There are 24 seats in the State Senate and heading into this election, Democrats held a 14-10 advantage.

  Most pre-election predictions showed the Republicans gaining a 13-11 or 14-10 majority, basically reversing the majority that Democrats have held.

  But the early results show that there is a real chance that republicans may take a huge majority in the State Senate.

  If these results hold true and the predictions are accurate the Republicans might gain a veto proof majority in all branches of the state legislature. Republicans will introduce and vote on the upcoming agenda, and even if Governor Lynch–who may be the last Democrat standing–vetoes the Republican introduced bill, the Republicans may be able to over-ride the Governor’s veto, in effect making the governor irrelevant.

  Governor Lynch may end up being a GINO, governor in name only, because if everything stays as it is currently the Republicans will be in control of the state.

    Makes New Hampshire sound like a very appealing state to live. I’m hoping this sea change will result in the affirmation of States Rights and constitutional principles. We almost lost them.
