A Taxonomy of Senate Appointments

By elwood

Let's move up 20,000 feet from the individual names. What are the different types of appointment that Governor Lynch could make? I come up with five categories:

  1. A frontrunning Democrat who will run in 2010. In the current environment his translates to Paul Hodes or Carol Shea Porter.
  2. A dark horse Democrat who will run in 2010. The lightest of the dark horses are the 2006 Senate candidates who stepped aside: Jay Buckey, Steve Marchand, and Katrina Swett. But there are darker horses in the stable: Senator Molly Kelly or John Hutson, for example.

CONCORD-- State Rep. Elizabeth Hager endorsed Barack Obama at a press conference announcing a "declaration of support" from New Hampshire women.
