The Republican primary for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire remains too close to call, with establishment candidate Kelly Ayotte leading conservative Ovide Lamontagne by just 38.2 percent to 37.4 percent with 85.4 percent of precincts reporting. This isn’t quite as stark a case as Delaware — Ayotte is more conservative than Mike Castle; Lamtontagne polls better in the general than Christine O’Donnell — but it would be another Tea Party triumph if the conservative pulled off the upset.
I sat down with Lamontagne, the 1996 candidate for governor, at CPAC earlier this year. I came away impressed by his sincerity and command of the issues, though he seemed to fade in the polls after that. A late Lamontagne surge made the race close again.

Was it a late surge, or were those fading poll numbers not truly indicative of the level of tea party involvement? I followed the polls on Real Clear Politics and across the board they had Ayotte running away with this race right up until election day. If the poll numbers were skewed because they didn't register the vitality of the Tea Party movement, what might this mean for the Deleware general election? Just a thought.
