Lucky New Hampshire
With all but the farthest right candidates aware that Iowa is a place where you can spend a shit-ton of resources to try to appeal to a handful of hard core loonies who don't think you are crazy enough, most are looking ahead to the second event, New Hampshire. New Hampshire does have its share of loonies, but it does resemble the standard electoral process.
With every major Republican presidential hopeful descending on New Hampshire this weekend for the state’s first candidate forum, attention will turn for the moment from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s entry into the campaign to the fluid Republican race.This will be the first chance the candidates will have to present a shred of sanity along with the standard boilerplate crazy. Keep an eye on which clown get shotgun when the car leaves.
Few of New Hampshire’s influential Republican activists will commit to a candidate based solely on what they see at the two-day gathering in Nashua. But the audition there offers a chance for one of the 19 prospects expected to attend to break out of the pack in a state where there is no clear favorite.
