New Hampshire

My year in politics My year in politics

What I got right and wrong in 12 months that changed the world.
  • Four Dem Senate pickups: Shaheen and Udall

    Jeanne Shaheen takes New Hampshire, Tom Udall projected in New Mexico.
  • How will Barack Obama get to 270?

    This November, a Democratic victory will probably hinge on the Electoral College votes of a handful of swing states. Howard Dean's pollster examines 17 fall battlegrounds, one by one.
  • McCain to media: Let's stay together

    Now that he's the nominee, reporters may not get to spend as much quality time with John McCain. Can McCain and the press make a long-distance relationship work?
  • Sound and fury on the campaign trail

    The debate over the Clinton campaign's remarks on race has favored symbol over substance, and that's bad for black America.
  • Clinton has "Girlfriend posse" to thank?

    Judith Warner angrily embraces that favorite narrative of the candidate's New Hampshire win.
  • How bashing Hillary backfired

    The overwhelmingly negative press corps may have rallied voters to Clinton's side and turned her narrow victory into a resurrection.
  • The witch ain't dead, and Chris Matthews is a ding-dong

    The glee with which Matthews and other angry male pundits prematurely danced on Hillary's grave made me -- for one night only -- a Clinton supporter.
  • Obama: "I am still fired up and ready to go"

    The Illinois senator's message of hope saw some dramatic reframing as Clinton's victory in New Hampshire unfolded.
  • McCain: The last man standing in New Hampshire

    A resurgent John McCain claims victory in the state he won eight years ago. Now on to South Carolina, where they play rough.
  • Heavy turnout in N.H.'s second largest city

    Lines are out the door at one voting place in Nashua, and ballots are running low.
  • Nice day for voting

    Today is the warmest New Hampshire primary in at least 40 years. Expect a massive turnout at the polls.
  • Mike Huckabee keeps on laughing

    For the second election in a row, Huckabee leaves the state the night before to appear on late-night TV. This time, it's Letterman.
  • Bill Clinton gets passive-aggressive

    Go ahead and vote for Barack Obama, Bill Clinton tells voters in New Hampshire. It's your country. Do whatever you want with it.
  • GOP to voters: Be afraid, be very afraid

    The Republican presidential contenders are engaged in a televised scaring contest, complete with explosions and sound effects, on the issue of national security. Check under your bed.
  • Republicans do it all over again

    On Fox News, the second GOP debate in 24 hours has the same punching bag: Mitt Romney. This time the network joined in.
  • A Democratic donnybrook

    The debate was rich in sound and fury, but did little lasting damage to unruffled frontrunner Barack Obama.
  • Standing room only for McCain

    There wasn't room for everyone who wanted to see John McCain's 100th town hall in the state -- not even the press.
  • Barack Obama's breakthrough victory

    The Illinois senator with magnetic appeal still faces a formidable foe in Hillary Clinton. But his decisive win in Iowa propels him toward the Democratic nomination.
  • Mike Huckabee sees the light

    With his victory in Iowa, the former Baptist minister deals Mitt Romney a blow -- but could John McCain be the biggest winner?
  • Caucus for Biden, or he may kiss you!

    Biden pushes for a strong finish in Iowa, but will his supporters stick by him?
