no, what's going on doesn't determine the winner- it's setting the tone. can the tone be changed? sure, but you can't let that impression linger for long.

And the odds are great that Clinton will win NH no matter what. Money counts a great deal, even in retail politics states. But why bother going at all this early if you're going to get bad local press and make a less than sterling first impression? And I'm not knocking Clinton. I'm genuinely puzzled by this.

Kind of like how Hillary thanked Kissinger for all of his guidance while SOS? Quackers May 2015 #62

I could pull out the many photos of people like Carter, Nelson Mandela etc talking to Kissinger KittyWampus May 2015 #72

Oh but I would, actually. Quackers May 2015 #82

What she supposed to say? Agschmid May 2015 #86

So, at first,I didn't care about what she really said, Quackers May 2015 #91

First I'm a Bernie supporter... Agschmid May 2015 #93

It was way more than polite conversation. Quackers May 2015 #94

"Personal advisor"...! Agschmid May 2015 #99

Here's where your logic is flawed Quackers May 2015 #100

Skinner supports Hillary. Agschmid May 2015 #102

I know he does. Quackers May 2015 #103

That "see? I'm somebody!" look is the same one she closeupready May 2015 #97

When Is the New Hampshire Primary Election? MineralMan May 2015 #2

If it's quickly forgotten why is she going there? Autumn May 2015 #4

She's going there for the same reason she's going to Iowa. MineralMan May 2015 #8

Small closed groups. Yes Autumn May 2015 #11

Exactly. That's the current thing she's doing. MineralMan May 2015 #14

I think one of the biggest mistakes was just how early she jumped into the campaign. All of what jwirr May 2015 #50

So far it's all happening on a similar schedule to the last primary. Agschmid May 2015 #87

Well then why is everyone yelling about how long it is to the first primary? jwirr May 2015 #89

Not sure... Agschmid May 2015 #90

Yes, they really do. I of course was trying to ask why Hillary chose to do these private meeting to jwirr May 2015 #92

I think the theme is pretty much self explanatory and it's origins of origination are as old as Wash. state Desk Jet May 2015 #81

How you introduce yourself- or reintroduce yourself- to voters cali May 2015 #7

I see. Well, you live closer to NH than I do, so you'd know best. MineralMan May 2015 #12

I don't know about Iowa but in NH, big rallies aren't nearly as important cali May 2015 #19

Iowa's much the same, since it's a caucus state. MineralMan May 2015 #21

You are correct. But in Iowa I went to caucuses and no one in them had ever met the candidate. jwirr May 2015 #56

Well, Senator Sanders is beginning his NH campaign, too. MineralMan May 2015 #60

Once one jumped in this early then the rest needed to follow. Especially those who do not have jwirr May 2015 #67

You've got me beat. So far I've only shaken hands with a president' 1monster May 2015 #77

February 9th. It's not that far away. jeff47 May 2015 #16

Yes, exactly. MineralMan May 2015 #20

Nope. Bernie held the traditional open NH house party cali May 2015 #23

OK. You don't think he's meeting privately with MineralMan May 2015 #28

not to my knowledge. couldn't find any mention of it when I googled. cali May 2015 #39

I'm not puzzled at all by this. MineralMan May 2015 #42

. It's those small private meeting that don't appeal to voters there cali May 2015 #49

Yes, well, OK, cali. MineralMan May 2015 #54

Problem with keeping it "pre-scripted" like this is you only get people jeff47 May 2015 #26

Well, this early in any campaign, those loyal supporters MineralMan May 2015 #37

"neither will be open to the public" Would that be the public that she is striving to Autumn May 2015 #3

that's how they run the party: you put votes into a system designed to block anything MisterP May 2015 #74

Wooooooo, an OPed that says NH is mad at Hillary! boston bean May 2015 #5

yes, but you know what they say about first impressions cali May 2015 #10

Is that the same as being against NAFTA before she was for and then against it again? Exilednight May 2015 #96

That much money doesn't know how to be personal. Orsino May 2015 #6

LOL NH needs to suck it up. nt DURHAM D May 2015 #9

And who has an unscripted campaign? liberal N proud May 2015 #13

Campaign you say? Kingofalldems May 2015 #17

It's irrelevant. Unless they work for Bernie's campaign, it is irrelevant. morningfog May 2015 #48

I don't think he would disapprove, as long as they had weight in policy decisions. n/t Exilednight May 2015 #101

Well. That lines up with her declining poll numbers here. bunnies May 2015 #22

So people are paying attention is NH? cali May 2015 #24

Oh, definitely. bunnies May 2015 #36

I confess, NH voters sense of entitlement irritates me, but on the upside cali May 2015 #41

I completely understand the irritation. bunnies May 2015 #63

Are these much different than her national numbers? Dem2 May 2015 #31

For Hillary? Definitely. bunnies May 2015 #38

Yes, I see that Bernie, once added to the poll, took away support from her Dem2 May 2015 #40

I live here. In NH. bunnies May 2015 #61

Fascinating Dem2 May 2015 #78

The one where you told me your poll was more indicative of what was going on in NH? bunnies May 2015 #80

Where I pointed out that Warren was skewing the poll and that Bernie wasn't included until recently? Dem2 May 2015 #83

Then you'd know how stupid it is to call Hillary's meeting w/NH families as "impersonal" KittyWampus May 2015 #108

Its impersonal unless youre one of the select few. bunnies May 2015 #110

It's time Huffpost removes Elizabeth Warren from the polls OnlinePoker May 2015 #73
