Primed for the Primary

By Beth Todgham on Tuesday, January 27, 2004.

Primary Day checklist:
1. Answer questions from Washington Post reporter doing a follow-up story on where I stand the day before the primary (my husband and I had been part of a story for their on-line edition early in the primary process)
2. Remind my 18-year-old daughter to vote today.
3. Set up VCR to tape the New Hampshire Primary edition of the Daily Show tonight.
4. Make sure the answering machine is clear of messages before leaving for work -- knowing it will be full of reminders to vote from all the campaigns when you return this afternoon.

Grass Roots

By John Walters on Tuesday, January 27, 2004.

For more than 30 years, writer and filmmaker (he often collaborates with documentarian Ken Burns) Dayton Duncan has lived in New Hampshire. In that time, he has seen the first-in-the-nation primary form all angles. He's been a reporter and columnist, a campaign staffer, and he wrote a book about the 1988 race in the Monadnock region. Grass Roots tells the stories of the insiders, activists and volunteers from the area who take part in presidential campaigns.

Laura's guests are Michael Dupre, Professor of Sociology at Saint Anselm College and research fellow at The New Hampshire Institute of Politics along with NHPR reporters Raquel Maria Dillon, Dan Gorenstein, and Trish Anderton.
