Last year giunta signed conciliation agreement for accepting an Illegal Campaign contribution from his parents. Im sure it is on some peoples minds.

I know its been a long night. So i really wanted to come in and thank you. Because whatever the rest of my natural life. Erin in the second Congressional District, jim lawrence cruised to a doubledigit win over Jack Flanagan. This is the second run for the seat. He ran again because so many people reached out to him. He will face incumbent congressman, annie kuster, in november. He says he hopes the core issues in issues like the economy and safety for children will speak to voters from both parties.

This was definitely a late night for a lot of campaign and probably listen Early Morning too. Lets talk about the race as we know. Good night for Colin Van Ostern and kelly ayotte. Jim lawrence as well. That was an interesting one to watch. Neither jim lawrence or Jack Flanagan were known to the voters in the district at pall. Were going to hear more about jim lawrence as he different world for him. Hes in the big leagues now. Colin van ostern, he was, we were thinking, probably the favorite on the democratic side. He proved to be. He did. He certainly showed that getting the support of your party helps. Getting that support early to freeze out anything that might go to the opponent really helped him out in the race. He won fairly comfortably. There wasnt a lot of inside campaig f that. The Democratic Party tends to shy away from primaries. They dont want to have the busines come up that causes to make it more difficult to get together. They dont really have to worry tomorrow morning their unity breakfast. They are unified. Speaking of not worrying, i dont think kelly ayotte lost a lot of sleep. He was onset though. Thanked him for a good race. Says it makes her a better candidate. It always does. It really sharpens your skills if you have to convince your own they should vote for you to clarify your message. I think the thing she wanted to make sure she still has Strong Majority support among republicans who were backing here in the race. Theres not a degree of divisionness within the party. Erin you can get all of the results from the rateses race, including the state house and senate. Well continue t coverage as we head toward the general election in november.
