NH-02: Endorsing Ann McLane Kuster for the Daily Kos Orange to Blue list
One of the great heartbreaks of election night 2010 (a night that saw a lot of heartbreaks) was Ann McLane Kuster’s narrow loss in New Hampshire’s second district to Republican Charlie Bass, who had previously represented the district from 1995 to 2007 before being defeated by Paul Hodes. It was a heartbreak not just because the loss was so narrow—48.3 percent for Bass to 46.8 percent for Kuster, the second-closest open seat loss for Democrats—but because Kuster was such a good candidate.
