	New Hampshire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		New Hampshire was a Jacksonian stronghold; the state sent Franklin Pierce to the White House in the election of 1852.
		New Hampshire has a bifurcated executive branch, consisting of the Governor and a five-member Executive Council which votes on state contracts over $5,000 and "advises and consents" to the governor's nominations to major state positions such as department heads and all judgeships, and pardon requests.
		New Hampshire does not have a Lieutenant Governor, the Senate President serves as "acting governor" whenever the governor is unable to perform the duties.

	Save the New Hampshire primary \| Salon
		Bill Gardner, the doggedly nonpartisan New Hampshire secretary of state, is the keeper of the flame of the first-in-the-nation primary, a modern-day Horatio at the Bridge holding off the uninformed hordes who fail to appreciate this small New England state's unique status in the political firmament.
		New Hampshire did not cause the front-loading of the system (your primary has been at the head of the class since 1920), but your state will be blamed for it.
		And in 2012, New Hampshire and Iowa would probably be shoved offstage to be replaced by a national primary, open only to candidates with household names who can raise $150 million before a single vote is cast.

		The Missouri and South Carolina primaries are the richest prizes in a lineup next Tuesday that includes primaries in Arizona, Delaware and Oklahoma, and caucuses in New Mexico and North Dakota.
		New Hampshire offered the candidates a chance to test their appeal with independent voters as well as Democrats, and Kerry scored heavily on both sides.
		But New Hampshire has a reputation of being ornery on occasion, too, and Kerry's opponents dared hope the diverse collection of coming contests would redraw the campaign yet again.

	[No title]
		Beginning in 1831, except for the Republicans that year, New Hampshire chose delegates interested in or committed to certain presidential candidates at town caucuses held throughout the state, then sent them to the state conventions of their respective political parties.
		New Hampshire came to terms with that decision because the Secretary of State determined the Delaware primary was not "similar" within the meaning of the law.
		It is a bit of ironic history that when candidates sign up for the New Hampshire primary at the office of the Secretary of State, they do so on a repatriated bird's-eye maple desk which had been repurchased by the State of New Hampshire from a Delaware museum in the 1970s for $5,000.

	A December Primary in New Hampshire? It's His Call.
		New Hampshire may be famously small-d democratic, a place where it seems as if every third person is in the state legislature, but Gardner is the state's answer to the chairman of the Federal Reserve: The political market can shudder from the impact of a single provocative verb.
		A December primary might shock a lot of candidates and their staffers, as well as journalists, all of whom have been tromping around the country with the presumption that the actual voting will begin next year.
		The law tells Gardner to put New Hampshire at least a week before any "similar election." This week, four Democrats pulled their names from the Michigan ballot, saying they would honor a pledge to campaign only in New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada and South Carolina before the rush of primaries on Feb. 5.

	New Hampshire Primary
		Because New Hampshire is a small state both geographically (it is the seventh smallest state with an area of 9,304 square miles) and population-wise (less than two million people) and because the candidates spend so much time here, voters have the opportunity to get to know the candidates person-to-person.
		It is no exaggeration to say that the long courtship of New Hampshire voters provides a comparable and probably greater boost to the state than a major party nominating convention provides to a host city.
		New Hampshire's special position is not without critics (see for example the Nov. 2001 resolution (PDF) of the Michigan Democratic Party).
