Hillary Clinton’s scripted campaign is starting to make New Hampshire mad [View all]

I've wondered about why they've been running this kind of a campaign NH. I can only guess that they believe that NH voters are locked down.


Now it appears that Hillary Clinton’s campaign is starting to get on New Hampshire’s nerves for being impersonal.

The Nashua Telegraph published an editorial Thursday that said a conference call by Clinton’s campaign with local media was “the antithesis of what NH is about.”

In fact, the nature of the call itself runs counter to a long tradition where the appearance of unnamed sources – be they presidential candidates or their operatives – are few and far between in New Hampshire newspapers, including this one. Anonymity, as a matter of course and for its own sake, is part of the culture in Washington, not New Hampshire.”

During her first New Hampshire visit, Clinton held panel discussions and house parties, only open to pre-credentialed media and individuals selected by campaign organizers.

Clinton’s campaign is set to return to New Hampshire this weekend, visiting Smuttynose Brewery in Hampton and an organizing event in Exeter. A campaign press release indicates neither will be open to the public.
