It's official: New Hampshire governor, House and Senate delegations all women

I posted yesterday on the possibility that New Hampshire could elect a female governor and an all-female congressional delegation this year, and that's exactly what has come to pass.

The AP has now called both congressional races for Democrats Ann McLane Kuster and former Rep. Carol Shea-Porter. Democrat Maggie Hassan became the governor-elect earlier in the night. The state is already represented in the Senate by Democrat Jeanne Shaheen and Republican Kelly Ayotte, making this the first state ever to have an all-woman federal delegation and governor.

It's an important milestone on its own, but also particularly interesting because of the role New Hampshire plays in the presidential nominating process, and the very real sense in both parties that it's past time for a female presidential nominee.
