When you’re around these politicians all the time, it’s no big deal. The only one who I really enjoyed seeing and protecting was Reagan. The Bushes, especially 41, are decent and authentic men.
These guys are a dime a dozen at primary time. The news coverage makes them seem larger than life, but up close, they’re not much different than the small-time politician running for city council.
It sounds like politics in New Hampshire is refreshingly different than politics in many other venues in these United States. That's certainly a credit to the Granite State.
However, it seems to me that most campaigns would have tried to get ahead of this news and made a preemptive announcement. What if this news had hit on Monday afternoon without some sort of front-running? It would seem to me that the Clinton campaign took a risk than most campaigns would not have taken.
Even in less visible activities than this Clinton campaign, I have seen people work hard to get bad news out as quickly as possible rather than try to sit on it.
