NH Assigned to Execute Gary Sampson

By Mark Bevis on Friday, January 30, 2004.

On the same day that New Hampshire got the news about a federal prison, state officials also learned the state had been chosen as the place to execute a convicted killer.

A U.S. District Court judge ruled that Gary Sampson will be executed in the Granite State for a killing spree that left three men dead.

But New Hampshire hasn't put anyone to death in 65 years.

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 Pals

By 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.

By Dan Gorenstein on Monday, January 26, 2004.

In the final hours of campaigning, Howard Dean and John Kerry are looking for every vote they can get.

The former Vermont Governor is trying to distinguish himself from Kerry- the presumptive front runner.

For his part, the Massachusetts Senator is ignoring his rivals and has his sights locked on President Bush.

Each candidate made their case fully aware that many voters remain undecided.
