The grassroots movement in New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District is rumbling again and lighting may strike twice as the underdog candidacy of Carol Shea-Porter is perched to defeat Republican Jeb Bradley.
The just released UNH poll (PDF) shows a 47 - 42 lead for Bradley. With a MOE of more than 5%, this race is in the toss-up category and, as the pollster indicated in the narrative:
"Historically, an incumbent with less than 50% of the vote in polls just before an election is likely to lose."
Many folks here are familiar with Paul Hodes great campaign to defeat Charlie Bass in NH's 2nd District and Hodes now holds a 45 - 37 lead over Bass, according to the same poll.
But the surging numbers for Shea-Porter gives the Dems one more seat to target for a WIN!
DCCC are you calling your time-buyers?
