I wanted to share a radio spot from This American Life in which they talk with Annmarie Timmins from the Concord Monitor, as well as many of the Representatives from the NH House.
A portrait of what it looks like when politics gets polarized, and how hard it is for people in the middle to hang on. Producer Sarah Koenig explains what happened when a wave of Republican politicians swept to power with a three-to-one majority in 2010. New Hampshire’s a small state, and the shift to a more divisive in-your-face kind of politics happened very quickly, so it’s possible to see exactly what’s gained and lost when that happens.

The report covers everything from Union Busting Tea Party Leadership, Rep Vallencourt's German statement, and blocking the Concord Monitor reporters out of the press conferences.
Below is the full special report.
