Senator Shaheen is the incumbent and faces Scott Brown in the November midterm election. Shaheen was formerly the Governor of New Hampshire. She had also previously served in the state senate. Brown, if you remember, ran in a special election against Martha Coakley in MA in 2010 to replace Sen. Ted Kennedy. Brown trailed Coakley until late in the race, then defeated her. He later ran against Elizabeth Warren and lost. He has now moved to New Hampshire to challenge Shaheen.
Just like Coakley, Shaheen has been leading Brown and now recent polls have him within 2 points. The Republican party is counting on winning this race to secure their take-over of the US Senate. The Boston Globe has the race as a dead heat: http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/08/21/jeanne-shaheen-scott-brown-dead-heat-new-poll-finds/aP4DUADaYLNif2LBJ5TWaI/story.html

Retaining the Democratic majority in the Senate is essential to maintaining life as we know it in America. If you think that is an exaggeration, then consider this:
