Former New Jersey Sen. Bill BradleyMANCHESTER -- Two presidential candidates, a national political reporter, and a former governor were all honored for their participation in the New Hampshire Primary in what has become the state's premier political party of the year.

The New Hampshire Political Library's annual fund-raiser at the Center of New Hampshire brought together the state's political elite from both parties to hear campaign war stories and celebrate the state's first-in-the-nation tradition.
