By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

MANCHESTER--Gov. John Lynch (D-Hopkinton) dodged a question about whether or not he would challenge U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg (R-Rye) in 2010.

Coming off a historic win in November, Lynch's name is often mentioned as a possible candidate against Gregg, who said the day after the election that he planned on running for another term.

"I haven't even been sworn-in for my third term," Lynch told reporters. "We need to work together to pass a budget and deal with the current economic challenges the state is facing."
