I don't think anyone from NH should complain about anything that has to do with the politicians from either party that want to come to our state.
Combined, our 1st in the Nation Presidential Primary, is worth hundreds of millions of dollars to our economy.
NH is .4% of the US population, kudos to the folks that got this moneymaking scam started 60 years ago this year!

The clip below is from the above Boston Globe article about the
2008 campaign. Just imagine what it going to bring to the State this election year.
Let them have all the big Orange Trucks they want!
"In New Hampshire, candidates from both parties have spent more than $23 million on TV ads - $12.3 million on WMUR in Manchester and about $10.8 million on Boston stations. Romney, now trying to fend off McCain's resurgence in New Hampshire, accounts for $9 million of the total. He alone among candidates can dip into his personal wealth to keep his campaign afloat and has already spent at least $17 million of his own money, and possibly much more.
Since February, Romney has purchased $3.9 million in ads on WMUR in Manchester, the state's only network affiliate television station, according to running tallies kept by Dante J. Scala, a political science professor at the University of New Hampshire. That accounts for nearly one-third of the $12.3 million purchased by all candidates on WMUR. As of late last week, Romney's campaign had also bought almost $5 million worth of air time on Boston stations, according to a service that tracks ad purchases by all the campaigns, plus a small amount of time on a Portland, Maine, station.
Also on the GOP side, McCain has spent about $3.6 million on New Hampshire ads; former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, about $2.4 million; Texas Representative Ron Paul, $625,000; and Huckabee, $175,000.
Among Democrats, Obama has spent about $4.2 million on Manchester and Boston TV, followed by Clinton, at about $3.5 million; Edwards, about $1.6 million; and Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico, about $700,000.
The American Federation of Teachers has also purchased more than $300,000 in radio air time for New Hampshire ads in support of Clinton, part of a $1 million "independent expenditure" of direct mail and ads on her behalf in Iowa and New Hampshire, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission."
