New Hampshire's "Blueing" Political Scene

While last Tuesday's election was pivotal on a national level, the results in New Hampshire were particularly striking. For the first time since 1912, democrats took both congressional seats.

Democrats also, for the first time since 1874, won a majority in the New Hampshire House and Senate. This notoriously Republican state was the only one to vote for George Bush in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004.

WBUR's Bob Oakes takes a closer look at New Hampshire politics with Dante Scala, associate professor of politics and research fellow at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire.
