Jeb Bradley, wiped out in the Dem wave that hit New Hampshire especially hard this year, is "in all likelihood" looking at a comeback bid in 2008.

His Democratic opponent Carol Shea-Porter will presumably get full DNCC support next year, so he'll be facing a much better funded incumbent. Unless the Presidential campaign is a blow-out, she should be in good shape for the rematch.
