Suffice it to say that the Sununus may be taking the Bush family off their Christmas list this year. John H. Sununu was a three-term governor of New Hampshire who served as George H.W. Bush's White House chief of staff for two years before he was forced to resign in disgrace amid charges that he misused government aircraft for personal trips. The family name was restored in 2002 when his son, John E. Sununu, became New Hampshire's junior senator after knocking off incumbent Senator Bob Smith in the GOP primary and then defeating popular former Governor Jeanne...

...almost entirely to the unpopularity of George W. Bush, Sununu looks headed for early retirement in the final days of a re-match against Shaheen. Although he has raised and spent more money than his Democratic opponent, Sununu has never led since she entered the race last December. He has been more sure-footed when they have faced off in debates throughout October, but he still trails Shaheen by an average of 8 percentage points in state polls.

...warming." As for foreign policy, Shaheen repeated Democratic calls for withdrawing troops from Iraq and devoting more time to building relationships with allies. Shaheen, who was the first female governor of New Hampshire, left the IOP last fall after announcing her decision to run against incumbent Republican Sen. John Sununu. The race sets up a rematch of the 2002 Senate race, in which Sununu beat Shaheen to take his current post.

WHITE HOUSE RATS (NO, NOT SUNUNU) Washington -- Haircutgate, the budget battle, Somalia -- and now rats, hundreds of them. White House aides going home after dark have had to bang on their briefcases and bags to scare the beasts away. The 165 traps that have been strategically positioned around the mansion grounds by the White House gardener -- and baited with environmentally sound poison -- have done little to stem the invasion. Mrs. Clinton has taken over health care; is this a job for Socks...
