Despite the increasing anti-women tone we have seen by the GOP in this election cycle (Akin, Mourdock, the Republican Party Platform, etc) history may be in the making by the end of the day on November 6th.
According to Politico:

If Democrats fare well there tomorrow night, New Hampshire could become the first state to be represented by a female governor and an all-female House and Senate delegation.
Granite Staters have already elected two women to the Senate: Republican Kelly Ayotte and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen.
But this year, Democrats have nominated a woman, former state Sen. Maggie Hassan, for governor, and former Rep. Carol Shea-Porter and attorney Ann McLane Kuster for the state’s two House seats.
A Democratic sweep in those races is far from a sure thing, but the final WMUR/UNH poll of the state showed it’s well within the realm of possibility. Hassan led Republican Ovide Lamontagne by 9 points in the poll – a wider lead than most public surveys – while Kuster was 6 points ahead of GOP Rep. Charlie Bass.
Shea-Porter, meanwhile, was tied at 40 percent with Republican incumbent Frank Guinta.
It’s not necessarily probable that this scenario will come to pass, but if it did, New Hampshire would be the first state to elect only women to the House, Senate and governor’s office
This is amazing and I slaute the voters of my home state sgould this actually come to pass.
This is amazing and I salute the voters of my home state if this indeed comes to pass.
