Los Angeles Times: “Indeed, New Hampshire, which traditionally holds the first presidential primary, has a history of unpredictability, resurrecting candidates given up for dead, spurning front-runners or elevating also-rans with late-developing shifts in sentiment. This time, the three contenders with the most to gain or lose are Bush, Kasich and Christie, who share the same essential political makeup. Each are pragmatically conservative problem-solvers running as the ‘serious’ answer to the combustible — and, they suggest, unelectable — Donald Trump.”
“Their strategies are also virtually the same: survive Iowa, which kicks off the nominating process with its Feb. 1 caucuses, then win New Hampshire eight days later — or at least run strongly enough to emerge as the alternative to Trump, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz or whoever else stamps himself the favorite of social conservatives who tend to rule the caucuses.”
