Photo Slideshow from Exeter Storm
Heavy rains that are expected to let up later today have resulted in destructive flooding across New Hampshire - particularly the southeast region of the state. Exeter, just one of the towns affected, has roads closed and sandbags piled along its river to prevent erosion.

POLL: Shea-Porter’s antics catching up to her
Voters appear to have soured on embattled New Hampshire Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter after a series of bizarre antics have made her the subject of widespread derision in Washington and New Hampshire. According to a new poll by the University of New Hampshire only 35% of likely voters approve of the job Shea-Porter is doing in Congress. 40% disapprove. 24% are neutral or don’t know for sure how they feel. Even worse, all potential Republican candidates for Congress – even the lesser-known candidates – would defeat her if the election were held today.

Shea-Porter ongoing town hall drama takes new turn; effort to ban her from Epping
A Republican selectman from Epping wants to ban Democratic Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (NH-01) from using that town’s offices for a public town hall meeting because she has refused to sign a letter objecting to prosecution of Navy SEALS who are embroiled in a legal battle.

Lamontagne requested meeting with party leaders he now criticizes
As he enters the race for U.S. Senate to replace the retiring Judd Gregg, Manchester attorney and 1996 Republican gubernatorial nominee Ovide Lamontagne is assuming a decidedly anti-establishment posture. He was the first Republican candidate in New Hampshire to back the third-party efforts of Doug Hoffman over the establishment party candidate in NY-23 (Kelly Ayotte also backed Hoffman). And he has been critical of party leaders for backing candidates in competitive primaries. Just this weekend, Lamontagne repeated those criticisms to the POLITICO’s Josh Kraushaar: “I’m the only candidate who’s running for this race who has run for office before. I know how to ...
