Lynch goes north for state senate candidates
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterTomorrow, Gov. John Lynch (D-Hopkinton) will campaign for two state senate candidates the Democratic Party thinks can help increase their majority in the state senate.
Lynch will campaign for senate district three candidate Bud Martin (D-Center Sandwich) in Wolfeboro and then stump for state Rep. Martha McLeod (D-Franconia) in Littleton.
Martin is running against state Rep. Bill Denley (R-Wakefield) and McLeod is running against current state Sen. John Gallus (R-Berlin) in senate district one.

18-6
Reasonable State House observers suggest that the Democrats could get as high as 18 state senators after this election. Democrats have a ton of money waiting to drop on the heads of the Republicans and the Republicans appear to be clueless. It will be an interesting night on November 4th.
Reasonable?!?!?!?!?
That is totally irrational!
Who are these Dems that are going to beat incumbent Republicans? Letourneau, Downing, Carson, Barnes, Bragdon, Roberge, Gallus, Odell are all safe seats. Gatsas will beat that hippie Clamshell Alliance anti-nuclear guy, Paul LaFlamme will win because Betty Hall and Peggy Gilmour will split the liberal votes, and there is a good chance that Doug Kruse will knock off Betsi (he is working very hard knocking on doors). Knytych might knock off Sgambati, he is working very hard and his signs are on the lawns of many local businesses in the Laconia area.
Well that makes a 12-12 Senate...let's just hope someone like Sandra Ziehm or Andy Sanborn can pull off an upset!
Lots of factors.
I think the current majority and the sham laws and regulations passed, tax increases it imposed, punting the school funding issue, coupled with the obnoxious spending (currently facing a $250-$500 million deficit) will make this State election cycle an interesting one to watch.
