John Lynch got his budget, Republicans were powerless to stop it and smokers should be getting a thank you from us. Find out how they all play into this week’s Winners and Losers.

Winners

Losers

Steve Marchand

Was recognized nationally as a rising star.

Republican House and Senate Leadership

They are wishing they didn’t lost control after Wednesday’s budget vote.

Dennis Hogan

While he will still be an underdog, its better to be challenging another first time senate candidate than the majority leader.

Fergus Cullen

We hate to keep coming back to this, but it was never as clear than this week when the Democrats filed a full slate of candidates for state senate and the Republicans have 6 districts they are still working on. Republicans are still the majority party in registration correct?

John Lynch

He got his budget through the House and Senate during a special session.

State Representatives

For conducting business in a way that requires “hiding in restrooms” and “locking doors to keep them in.”

Paul Hodes

There wasn’t an earlier prominent supporter of Obama’s than Hodes. He has to be gloating this week.

Smokers and wine drinkers

Thanks for helping us balance the budget.

Quote of the Day

October 13, 2008

"In New Hampshire, we've always made phone calls from volunteers. We've always knocked on doors," he said. "It's just now both parties are using micro-targeting techniques to really maximize the efforts of the people on the ground and maximize the engagement of voters they believe would most likely support their candidate. Given the stakes of the election, you can't take for granted they will vote for you."

Republican political advisor Rich Killion on presidential campaign grass roots efforts.
