Setting Up for New Hampshire

Every candidate considers New Hampshire "critical state", but Democratic underdogs look for New Hampshire as their breakout. How would this happen, without manpower and little media attention how can candidates such as Richardson and Kucinich really convince voters to not vote for the most popular candidates such as Obama and Clinton. Their answer: one by one.

Without strong media attention and very little supporters, some candidates must campaign the old fashioned by, by attending dinner with little over 30 people and personally answer and attend to the needs of interested voters.

But they are hopeful, Richardson quoted "I go person-to-person, I don't go to gyms with thousands of people. I go straight to the voters in their homes and that's how I'm going to win in Iowa and New Hampshire."

We have to see whether or not candidates can pull voters by walking down the street or does a candidate need a set of supporters already in place. Personally, it seems that only popular candidates get elected, many of these Democratic candidates I have never heard of. I'll be rooting for them, but will be voting for the more popular ones.
