campaign strategy

Identifying grassroots activists is how Jennifer Horn (R-Nashua) was able to win the Republican nomination in the 2nd Congressional District, her campaign manager said.

David Chesley, her manager for the past few months, said that the campaign focused on identifying their voters and making sure they showed up to the polls last Tuesday.

Weeks before the New Hampshire primary, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton's senior strategist Mark Penn wrote a campaign memo that outlined a path to victory for the former first lady.

The memo, published by The Atlantic, proposed a series of steps the campaign should take depending on how well Clinton did in the Iowa caucuses.

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's deputy campaign manager says their campaign will have to "play hard" to win New Hampshire in November.

"We're going to have to play hard in New Hampshire - we completely recognize that," Steve Hildebrand told Politico's Ben Smith.
