6. I don't follow NH politics as I should

since I live here. Spouse keeps me posted.

I had always thought Bill Gardner was pretty much a normal republican. Guess not. Tough. Dems are in charge now.

Colin van Ostern ran for governor a few years ago and I went to a house thing where I heard him speak. Sounds like a good guy. I'd like to see him as governor at some point, and the SoS job seems like a good job for someone normal to keep things on track.

There are only two reps and two Senators here, so there's not a lot you can do about redistricting. And on the local level it's pretty much town based, so there's not much fuckery that can be done there either.
