I’d be a bit more optimistic of Guinta’s chances if it was an open race or if Lynch tries to break the unwritten rule of no more than 6 years (3 terms) for a Governor in 2010. Of course Guinta could run without giving up the Manchester Mayoralty, to which he was just reelected in Nov 2007. But if he runs and loses by a wide margin, that could damage his chances for a 3rd term in 2009. He might be a better bet to run for one of the 2 House seats. Shea-Porter should be a top target, especially since she is a moonbat.
