Editorial Reviews
Review
“Highly recommended.”–Choice
“Palmer's book offers the first significant look at its subject since the publication of Charles Brereton's First in the Nation: New Hampshire and the Premiere Presidential Primary in 1987 and Dayton Duncan's Grass Roots: One Year in the Life of the New Hampshire Presidential Primary in 1991. Neither of these works, however, approaches Palmer's depth of analysis or breadth of contextualization....Palmer has written a well argued and highly readable book that will be of great interest to scholars of the American political scene and especially to anyone who has participated in a New Hampshire primary campaign.”–The New England Quarterly

Book Description
This study examines the peculiar role and history of the New Hampshire primary in American presidential politics, through the 1996 election season. The work reviews the primary's history, analyzes the media's treatment of New Hampshire's results, discusses clashes between state and national Democratic parties, and provides a study of the phenomenon of momentum, and the role played by local media such as the infamous Manchester Union Leader.
