From The Telegraph in New Hampsire:
When you get down to it, elections are a numbers game, and here’s a number that has state Republicans excited: 27.
That’s the number of GOP candidates vying for seats in the Statehouse who will be on Nashua ballots on Nov. 2, and it’s the most that has been seen in the Democrat-dominated city in many years …
That aggressiveness reflects a statewide push by the GOP, which hopes to use economic concerns to rebound after two election cycles that saw it dethroned as the dominant party in New Hampshire …
Party control of the Statehouse has extra rewards this year because the winner gets to control the redistricting that’s done once every decade.
