New Hampshire: Concord Monitor

New Hampshire Attorney General Kelly Ayotte will be featured in series of public service commercials for Comcast, The Concord Monitor reports.

"Attorney General Kelly Ayotte, who may or may not have political ambitions, will star in a series of public service announcements on internet safety over the next year sponsored by Comcast," Lauren Dorgan wrote on Sunday.

In 2006, Executive Council John Shea (D-Nelson) was on a flight to Belgium when he heard he had pulled off an upset victory and defeated Councilor Peter Spaulding. Two years later, Shea has visited every town in District 2 and has been campaigning extensively with Gov. John Lynch (D-Hopkinton).

A poll sponsored by The Concord Monitor shows Barack Obama leading John McCain in New Hampshire.

The poll has Obama beating McCain 50 percent to 43 percent. The last Monitor poll had Obama leading McCain 48 percent to 44 percent.

Research 2000 interviewed 600 voters and the poll's margin of error is 4 points.

Carroll County politicians differ over the impact of the story that a company founded by state Rep. Bill Denley (R-Wakefield) was under investigation by Maine's Attorney General.

The story has quickly become the main issue in Denley's bid for the state senate in District 3 against Bud Martin (D-Center Sandwich).
