she goes around the edges, it wasn t the right president at the right time. that doesn t seem to be a response to him or insulting her. personally worse than that mike, she is not responding to new hampshire voters you know a hell of a lot more you reported on new hampshire primaries candidates, who are supposed to be surging dealt council debates, and refused to answer bogus questions you know joe, of all the primaries that we ve ever held whatever president you re talking about, new hampshire is still is always will be, fun. fun for the candidates. fun for the media, fun for the people. you can sum up the magic of the new hampshire primary, with one story. the late great, mo running for president, he s on the ballot with several of the democrats, the year with 76. he walks into a barbershop, he s shaking hands, a fellow says to him, he who says i would like your phone. the fellow says to him, i m thinking about it, i ve only met you twice. that is the way new hamp
