Primary?  Nackey Loeb, Publisher   A better question would be,
"Why not?"   Over the years, up here in the Granite State the
people have served the country well when it comes to electing
Presidents.  Since 1952, with the exception of Bill Clinton (an
unfortunate one in our opinion), no man has won the Presidency
without first winning the New Hampshire Primary.   That's no
accident.  Granite Staters are tough but fair with those who
would be President.  Toward the end of the race, when the
temperature gets colder and the campaigning gets hotter, it
takes dedication to survive.  Here is democracy at its best, for
it takes more than a big bankroll or name recognition to impress
us.   New Hampshire folks demand that a would-be President
address their concerns and answer their questions face to face.
