NH-Sen; Where Is Shaheen When You Need Her?

Former Governor Jeanne Shaheen (D-New Hampshire) narrowly lost the 2002 Senate race to Republican John Sununu. A new ARG poll she would win a second try next year.

Shaheen's 2002 loss was controversial as the GOP jammed Democratic GOTV phone lines on Election Day, and have since been punished for it. Shaheen has not said whether or not she would run again.

The ARG poll shows her ahead by 10, winning almost all New Hampshire Democrats, a third of the important unaffiliated voters and even 17% of Republicans.

Sununu is considered the most vulnerable GOP incumbent of 2008. So far two Democrats are in the race, Portsmouth Mayor Steve Marchant and Katrina Swett, wife of former Congressman Dick Swett and daughter of current Congressman Tom Lantos (D-California).

No polls have been released putting Sununu up against Marchant or Swett.
