New Hampshire Power Brokers Stay on Sidelines

September 5, 2019 at 6:35 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Politico: “If the Democratic race has effectively narrowed to three top candidates and everyone else, elected officials here haven’t gotten the message: Some 95 percent of them, from members of the statehouse down to town party chairmen, have yet to pick a horse.”

“Democratic presidential hopefuls are waging a fierce behind-the-scenes battle to get them off the sidelines — amid a prevailing sense that the first-in-the-nation primary is up for grabs. The jockeying is set to rev into overdrive starting Thursday through this weekend, when the entire Democratic field will descend on Manchester for the party’s annual convention.”

August 6, 2019 at 9:25 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Said pollster David Paleologos: “This is shaping up to be a race between three candidates who all cannot figure out how to get past each other, and then every one else who are really vying for fourth place or just survival.”

“Among the reasons why Biden, Sanders, and Warren will be difficult to topple from the top-tier: unlike other candidates, a significant portion of their supporters say they have made up their minds about the race.”

Biden Has Clear Lead In New Hampshire

May 9, 2019 at 12:05 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

A new Monmouth poll in New Hampshire finds Joe Biden as the clear frontrunner for the Democratic nomination with 36%, followed by Bernie Sanders at 18%, Pete Buttigieg at 9%, Elizabeth Warren at 8% and Kamala Harris at 6%.

No other candidate registers more than 2% support.

Also interesting: “The overwhelming majority (68%) of likely Democratic voters prefer to have a nominee who would be a strong candidate against Trump even if they disagree with that candidate on most issues. If they were forced to choose, just 25% say they would favor a Democratic candidate who they are aligned with on the issues even if that person would have a hard time beating Trump.”

Guardian of New Hampshire Primary May Lose Job

December 5, 2018 at 7:10 am EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Bill Gardner, the New Hampshire official who has zealously guarded his state’s position kicking off U.S. presidential races for four decades, could end his long run in office on Wednesday if lawmakers pick a new secretary of state,” Reuters reports.

“Gardner, 70, has held that role since 1976… Now he faces his first challenger in decades in Colin Van Ostern, a failed gubernatorial candidate.”

“Both candidates are Democrats, but Van Ostern is looking to capitalize on anger among Democrats in the state over Gardner’s role in a now-defunct commission Republican President Trump named to investigate allegations of voter fraud in the 2016 elections.”

New Hampshire Primaries Boost Democrats

September 12, 2018 at 8:51 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Cook Political Report: “In the wake of the New Hampshire primary, Republicans will be hard-pressed to pry either of the state’s House seats out of the Democratic column. The state’s notoriously independent electorate tends to swing hard towards parties riding a wave, and we’re moving both of the state’s House seats in Democrats’ direction.”
