New Hampshire Newsmakers of the Year 2006: Democrats Win

As Election Day rolled around, many predicted it would bring good news for Democrats, both nationally and in New Hampshire - but few predicted it would be this good for the party. When the dust settled, New Hampshire Democrats captured the Governor's office and both of the state's congressional seats, as well as taking control of the State Senate, State House and Executive Council - a Democratic-dominated government that the Granite State hasn't seen in over 150 years.
