The NHFITNPP Is Alive And Well
The New Hampshire First-In-The-Nation Presidential Primary is alive and well, and will by our law be held in 2012 "...7 days or more..." before other primaries -- and this year's process made us more relevant than ever.
Think about it -- New Hampshire "launched" John McCain's candidacy with his win here, and kept Hillary Clinton from losing in a one-two punch to Barack Obama after he won Iowa. In both cases, we changed the direction of the Republican and Democratic Party races.
That's a pretty good day's work.
