Three weeks after the floods that devastated Alstead, crews are still out in full force. They're repairing roads, rebuilding bridges, and restoring power to parts of town. They are also cleaning up the massive amount of debris that ended up in the Cold River after it tore through the town upending trees, destroying homes, and washing away roads. New Hampshire Public Radio’s Rebecca Kaufman checked in with the river clean-up and filed this report.

We're taking a look at the current state of the national GOP this week as it continues to ride out a series of missteps, including the DeLay indictments, Meirs nomination, and the Scooter Libby indictment, and do it through the eyes of New Hampshire analysts and politicians and see what impact, if any, these troubles may have on New Hampshire's own state Republican Party races. Laura's guests are Tom Rath, Republican Analyst and Attorney at Rath, Young and Pignatelli and Fergus Cullen, Columnist for the New Hampshire Union Leader and Sunday News. We'll also hear from Charlie Bass, Republican Congressman representing New Hampshire's Second District, Charlie Arlinghaus, President of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy and former Field Representative for the Republican National Committee, and Colin Van Ostern, Democratic Analyst who has been involved in several local and national campaigns.
