" the Granite State’s demanding primary voters, who insist on seeing candidates up close for several months before they go to the polls"

On another subject, why should this lefty State have first dibs at casting a seal of approval on a GOP candidate. It's about time they were reminded that they are only one of 50 (or 57, or 60 or whatever) and that their lefty ideal does not necessarily reflect the views of the rest of the country.

New Hampshire is turning more left than it has been in the past (the invasion of those fleeing Massachussets is a big reason), but I still wouldn’t call it a “lefty State”.
