Race Analysis

10/27/10 -- Anti-war activist Carol Shea-Porter won this district in a stunning 2006 upset of Jeb Bradley.  She held off Bradley again in the 2008 election.  This time, however, she looks to be in big trouble against Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta.  She's trailed in almost all of the polls, which is a horrendous place for an incumbent to be at this point in the game.  She's the underdog.
