ArchivesPulling the StringsBy John Walters on Wednesday, January 28, 2004.It’s a primary-free zone tonight on the Front Porch, but not entirely politics-free. Ted Leach jokes that running a marionette theatre is not much different than running for political office. And he would know. For much of the 90's Ted ran the New England Marionette Opera in Peterborough. Today, he serves as the Republican State Representative from Hancock and Chairman of the Clean Air Subcommittee. In his spare time, he is writing an opera, a novel, and a musical and pulling all the right strings to make his various projects a reality. listen:
 Its QuirkyBy Ted Jastrzembski on Wednesday, January 28, 2004.Maybe the result wasn't so much any meltdown of the Dean movement, as it was Kerry taking skillfull advantage of a crack in the attention sequence many Dean leaners had locked into. Kerry got a second look after a lackluster Fall start, and voters liked what they saw as they got to spend more time around him in Iowa and NH. In the end it comes down to Democrat and independent desperation to move out of the conservative, ultraright, greedy, arrogant funk the country is in politically. That means "Electability" in November will continue to be the name of the game. A Salute to Iowa, New Hampshire DemocratsBy Eric Woolson on Wednesday, January 28, 2004.Take a bow, Iowa and New Hampshire Democrats. And, for that matter, all you other Democrats and independents from around the country who journeyed to the two "first-in-the-nation" states to work for their chosen candidates. Maybe we don't agree on many issues -- and you don't agree among yourselves about a favorite candidate yet -- but we all recognize the value of participating in the political process. And, for that, I salute you. The primary nobody seesBy Beth Todgham on Wednesday, January 28, 2004.The manager of the Center of New Hampshire, the state's largest hotel in Manchester, said in a C-SPAN interview the other day that he expects to start receiving inquires about the next New Hampshire Primary in about six months. For those watching the action on tv the past couple of days, the Center played home to the Kerry campaign party last night and was the headquarters for NBC News since they rolled into the state last week.

The Other Candidates Still Seek MomentumBy Raquel Maria Dillon on Wednesday, January 28, 2004.The race for first place was hotly contested in yesterday's primary, but the race for third was also fierce. John Edwards, Wesley Clark, and Joe Lieberman all hoped to emerge from the back of the pack.

Wha' Happened?By Mark Bevis on Wednesday, January 28, 2004.It wasn't two weeks ago that most analysts were writing Senator John Kerry off as a serious contender in the Democratic primary. He held a very distant second place behind former Vermont governor Howard Dean. But that turned around last week. And the Massachusetts Senator won the day yesterday in the state's primary.

Parting Thoughts from the Pen PalsBy Jon Greenberg on Wednesday, January 28, 2004.The completion of the New Hampshire primary brings to an end an experiment that we conducted with public radio station KUNI in Iowa. Months before the caucuses, we paired five voters in Iowa with five voters here at home and let them share their observations through a weblog called Primary Frontline Pen Pals. We reached five of our bloggers and asked them to evaluate the conduct of the candidates and the overall tenor of the campaigns. Their views thoroughly reflect the trademark retail politics of the early presidential contests. listen:
