Tom Rath Interviewed in the Washington Post about the New Hampshire primary

January 7, 2008

Just days before the 2008 New Hampshire primary election, Tom Rath discussed the significance of the event with Washington Post writer Kevin Merida. Tom is presidential candidate Mitt Romney's senior campaign adviser in New Hampshire.

In the interview, Tom emphasizes the central role that politics play in the lives of New Hampshire citizens, especially in the days leading up to New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary. "If you want to come in and see the primary show, in two or three days you can see nine candidates. You can get almost anywhere in 45 minutes."

Tom also outlines the characteristics of the state that make the election in New Hampshire vastly different than anywhere else in the country. "There are no unguarded moments. People see things and notice things. And you learn things."
