Republican in Lead to Replace Judd Gregg

According to Rasmussen, "Republican Kelly Ayotte leads Democrat Paul Hodes by eight points in an early look at New Hampshire’s 2010 race for the U.S. Senate."

Hodges is a Member of Congress who has recently taken heat for failing to hold any health care town hall meetings. He also referred to opponents of ObamaCare as members of the "flat-earth society."

Every senate seat is precious these days, so Republicans are, no doubt, talking solace in the fact that they have a good shot at retaining the Gregg seat.
