Overall, voter turnout across the country didn't set predicted records but it was still one of the highest in years. In New Hampshire about 700,000 voters cast ballots- breaking a record & handing Democrats their second straight sweep of major state offices.

The last time New Hampshire had three Democrats in Congress was from 1975-79. Gregg, first elected to Congress in 1980, said he's been in the minority before and suspects that down the road, the GOP will be in the majority again. "Politics is one of these business in government where what goes up comes down and what comes down goes up," As the top Republican officeholder in the state, Gregg said he does not blame Tuesday's GOP losses on the state GOP organization, but said the party must be aggressive in getting back to basic themes as it works to get back to being a majority. "One of the reasons we weren't able to do that is our basic themes were being overwhelmed by a national agenda that took away any dialogue about local issues where we could have made our case and scored some points," he said. 12:20:26 the truckload of negative ads.ran smart campaign.ran against pres bush instead of Sununu…:31.a vote for shaheen was a vote agasint president bush 12:20:36 ** bad audio Uphill climb from the beginning. handing Democrats their second straight sweep of major state offices.
