What Keeps Presidential Candidates Working Hard for New Hampshire
ABC's PAOLA CHAVEZ: Despite the hard work involved with campaigning in a critical state, all three candidates can agree that they’re attracted to the Granite State for reasons other than those early votes.
Democratic hopeful Martin O’Malley joked with a crowd in Manchester, that what he loves most about New Hampshirites is their honesty. “People sometimes say to me -- I know it’s shocking here in New Hampshire that people can actually walk up to a presidential candidate and tell them exactly what’s on their mind. But that’s what you do isn’t it,” O’Malley said at the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner on Nov.29.
When filing for the New Hampshire primary, Hillary Clinton admitted her husband may have another love – New Hampshire. “I don’t think I could keep him away,” Clinton joked. “I think he really loves coming to New Hampshire as some of you know.”
As for the leading candidate in the latest New Hampshire polls, Bernie Sanders, the state touches a soft spot. “Somebody asked us, tell us what so far has been the most interesting revelatory moment in New Hampshire and I thought about it, a moment,” Sanders reflected to a sold out crowd in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on Sept. 25. “And then it occurred to me was literally the day or the second day after we announced, we went to the south church in Portsmouth and we had about 750 people there and we walked in there and we said, 'Woah, something is happening.'” -
