The First Primary: New Hampshire's Outsize Role in

The First Primary: New Hampshire's Outsize Role in Presidential Nominations (UNH Non-Series Title)

Since 1952, the primary election in a small, not very diverse New England state has had a disproportionate impact on the U.S. presidential nomination process and the ensuing general election. Although just a handful of delegates are at stake, the New Hampshire primary has become a massive media event and a reasonably reliable predictor of a campaignâ€™s ultimate success or failure. In The First Primary, Moore and Smith offer a comprehensive history of the stateâ€™s primary, an analysis of its media coverage and impact, and a description of the New Hampshire electorate, along with a discussion of how that electorate reflects or diverges from national opinions on candidates and issues. A book for political scientists and political junkies, media and policy professionals, and all students of American government, The First Primary ably fills the gaps in our understanding of New Hampshireâ€™s outsize role in the nomination process.
