New Hampshire monopolists
Oct 21, 2011

Last time I checked, the New Hampshire presidential primary was not written into the U.S.Constitution.

For those interested in constitutional fundamentals, I would think they might question New Hampshire Secretary of State's Bill Gardner's insistence that his state will be the First Primary In the Nation -- so help him God.

Yet Gardner muscles other states out of the way to preserve New Hampshire's prime position in the presidential selection contest.

Now there is something to New Hampshire -- although a virtually all white state with few minorities -- saying that having a small state go first helps to vet candidates in person-to-person contact.

Great argument for New Hampshire -- or Delaware or Montana or Idaho or some other sparsely populated states.
