No Habitat
Hodes beats Bass in New Hampshire. Bass was, along with defeated Republican Rhode Island Senator Lincoln Chaffee and Connecticut's Nancy Johnson, a classic GOP moderate of the type in trouble this year.
Many of the pundits are saying that GOP moderates are an "endangered species." Well, they've already long been that. But now the few remaining habitats where they could perch are being taken away.
Written and compiled by staff writers and editors, GOVERNING View is an on-the-ground, and sometimes behind-the-scenes, look at the topics we're covering in print and online. From notes on what's up in statehouses, county courthouses and city halls, to encounters with people, places and things, GOVERNING View is a window into the side of state and local government you don't always see.
