I'm a kid from New Hampshire who's pretty normal.

Let's be clear -- state employees and other voters in New Hampshire take a huge risk by supporting him. Wesley Clark has a life-long pattern of support for national Republicans whose policies have been disastrous for public employees, and that is a track record that raises huge doubts about what he would do if he ever became President.

Many of the candidates are known only as names and not individuals. People in Iowa and New Hampshire want to get to know you individually, or feel they do. . . . That kind of courtship takes a lot of time and effort.

New York deserves a senator who has New York's interests at heart -- not the divided loyalties of one seeking to satisfy the needs of people in Iowa, New Hampshire or Florida,

What does that tell you about how people value mental health? New Hampshire deserves better.

Historic farmlands in New Hampshire and elsewhere are increasingly being developed. While the arsenic and lead in the soils of old orchards is essentially immobile as long as the land is not disturbed, our work suggests that the development of these lands can inadvertently mobilize these metals toward bodies of water. Communities in these areas may want to ensure additional precautions are taken to control erosion when old orchard lands are disturbed in order to reduce the potential for contamination of nearby surface waters.

I think you would have to say that Gov. Bush has had a rougher passage to the nomination. McCain stung him badly in New Hampshire and then came back from the South Carolina to win again in Michigan ... the kind of state that represents a battleground in a general election. Losing to McCain there really did inflict some wounds on Bush.

I think we just get so mad when we feel that we have let a game slip through our fingers. We like to think of ourselves as a mentally tough team. Winning at Albany doesn't erase the feeling in our guts after the New Hampshire loss. Now we need to win again.

Why is New Hampshire entitled to pick the next president every four years? The answer is what makes the state so different. In no other place in the country, or perhaps the world, is the distance between the ordinary citizen and the government so short. Ordinary people determine the way our communities are governed. Everybody gets involved directly in accepting a share in the responsibility for what goes on in our towns and in the state. That constant involvement by all of us makes New Hampshire special.

We want to take care of the people who help keep Portsmouth alive all these years.

This is his high water mark. New Hampshire might be the same for John McCain.
