New Hampshire is the subject of Palmer's book precisely because it
serves as the first presidential primary every four years. Many
critics of the New Hampshire primary fault it for being too arcane,
too unrepresentative, and too quixotic to use as a gatekeeper of
who becomes President. Palmer went to new Hampshire expecting to
gather research that argued against New Hampshire as first primary.
As he finished he realized his findings pointed out the opposite,
that in fact and deed, New Hampshire was as good a place to start
the primary races as any other. No single state is representative.
The retail politics that aspirants face in New Hampshire is a very
useful winnowing device in which a candidate must actually come
face to face with real voters, who more often than not make a study
of the issues and policies that they raise in their questions.
