There's two different things at play here as to why the Democratic Party scored a political sea change in the November 2006 general election.

1) The war in Iraq and President Bush's low approval rating.

2) The whopping big increases in property taxes.

A couple days before the November 2006 election, all these NH Republican-NH advantage, roadside cardboard signs were placed along the roads on many different spots.

For the NH Republican Party their NH Advantage and local control has been their holy grail for 40 years. It used to be a sure winner for them, but it's just not a winner anymore.

Why is that and where do they go from here?

In New Hampshire, isn't being an independent which is actually a non-party, the largest category.
