From NBC's Mark MurrayWith New Hampshire Sen. Judd Gregg (R) retiring and with Democrats getting Rep. Paul Hodes (D) to run to replace him, this seat had once seemed like&amp;nbsp;perhaps the top Senate pick-up opportunity of 2010.

Out of your butt?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hell failing hospitals close, they aren't bought by the federal government. I work in the system, I know what the hell is going on.

Can you name any dictators he actually apologized to? &amp;nbsp;The republicans blame Pres Obama and the democrats for today's problems because they can't face the reality that GOP policies utterly and completely failed--deregulation, tax cuts but spend, no oversight of banking, two wars and 90% of the national debt belongs to Reagan, Bush and Bush. &amp;nbsp;That's the legacy of the GOP today--FAILURE.</description></item><item><title>Republicans to get their woman in NH?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/07/07/1988803.aspx#1989023</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:02:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1989023</guid><dc:creator>Deborah    Greenlawn, NY</dc:creator><description>Well, if you are going to quit/resign, that's the way to do it, Sarah!
