Obama took the 4 electoral votes, Democrat Maggie Hassen took the open Governor seat, and Democrat Carol Shea- Porter took the open House seat. It was a good election for the Democrats in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire knows they are important
New Hampshire citizens know how purple their state is. Every poll says a different thing! Democrats are afraid if they loose New Hampshire the rest of the battleground states would start to fall, Republicans are making the push for the same reason.
What if Sandy was a week later???
This article discusses the "what if's" associated with a catastrophic event on election day. To sum it up, there is no plan if something were to happen. No nationwide plan or even state plans are in place in case of emergency. To me this seems like poor planning and I don't know why this has not been addressed.
What if?
What if?
Mitt Romney to hold one last campaign rally in New Hampshire
This shows how close this election is in New Hampshire, a state that neither candidate paid much attention to a month ago is now a large focal point. Both candidates realize how close it is and how important its four electoral votes are.

The Concord Monitor illustrates why the candidates are making so many trips to New Hampshire and why the state's vote is more important than ever before. While three of the past five elections here have come down to a 1% margin, rarely has the electoral vote been predicted to be so close. There are several scenarios that could happen where the candidates would end tied at the dreaded 269. Being that New Hampshire is the swing state with the fewest electoral votes, it still retains a role at being able to get those last few votes that put the candidate where they need to be.

Put Out the Obama Fire; Its Down to the Wire!

The Romney swing has not slowed down here in the Granite State. What was a 15 point lead for Obama just weeks ago has become a Romney lead. Like several perfectly executed 4th quarter Tom Brady touchdown drives, Romney has stormed through the debates gaining greatly on the once sure lead of the President. The poll results remain a dead heat however, and at this point it is anyones game. All the swing states are extremely close, which makes the seemingly small 4 electoral votes of New Hampshire even more important. One more debate remains and all eyes will be waiting to see if Romney's comeback in the polls continues or if the President will be able to gain back some of what he lost. While the race is nowhere near over, it sure has grown far more interesting than it was only a month ago.
