Hello. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to NH Outlook. |
| Intro Sununu Return to index of stories... |
It was a republican sweep in New Hampshire and the rest of the country. With all but a few races in Tuesday's election undecided, republicans have won control of the US house and Senate. In this program we're going to hear the night's victory and concession speeches from some of the key races and hear analysis from two of the people who have followed this campaign with us over the summer. We begin with Senator-Elect John. E. Sununu who captured 51 percent of the vote over Governor Jeanne Shaheen's 47 percent. Libertarian Ken Blevens got 2 percent of the vote. The race was not nearly as close as many pundits had predicted. We'll talk about that and more after we hear from the candidates. |
| Intro Governor Return to index of stories... |
As expected,millionaire businessman Craig Benson was New Hampshire's overwhelming choice for governor. Benson, who spent an estimated ten million dollars of his own money on the campaign received 59 percent of the vote. Mark Fernald was a distant second at 38 percent. Libertarian John Babiarz received 3 percent of the vote. |

Martha Fuller Clark lost her second bid for congress in the district received 38 percent. Libertarian Dan Belforti recived 3 percent. |

| Record Turnout Return to index of stories... |
Unofficially, voter turnout in New Hampshire yesterday smashed the record for a non-presidential election. At least 440 thousand ballots were cast, adding up the totals in the U.S. Senate race , plus two thousand write-in votes reported to The Associated Press. That beats 1998's record by more than 113 thousand votes. |
