The snows of New Hampshire are more than just a cliche dreamed up by some newsman when Estes Kefauver drove a dog sled through the Granite State back in 1956; they are a fact of life. And the New Hampshire primary is more than just an election for the state’s inhabitants; it is big business.
How much will eventually be spent this year won’t be known until the last check bounces, but it will be considerable. Whole motels are booked solid with candidates, aides, and newsmen. Buses and cars are rented. The airwaves are filled with paid announcements. Vacant stores are snapped up for headquarters.
