New Hampshire political analysts are unsure has to the impact that Barack Obama's decision to have Joe Biden as his running-mate will have in the Granite State.

Dean Spiliotes, political analyst at NHPoliticalCapital.com, says Biden could help with independent voters, while Dante Scala, political professor at University of New Hampshire, thinks Biden will unify a generational divide in the Democratic Party.

"In the New Hampshire Democratic Party there is something of a generational split between younger, more progressive, more upscale Democrats, who I'd say are Obama Democrats and then older, longer-standing, more traditional Democrats," Scala told PolitickerNH.com. "Biden could help bridge the gap between those two groups and perhaps have some trickle-down effect with other voters."

Scala added that Biden's appeal is to unify the party more than helping with attracting independent voters.

Spiliotes though said that Biden's foreign policy credentials will appeal to independent voters.

"With some independents Biden brings security to the ticket," he said. "This will provide an anchor for people."

Spiliotes also said the pick highlights two questions: "Does this undercut at all the message of change and does Biden put his foot in his mouth."
