Presidential Campaign '04

By Mike Arnold on Tuesday, March 9, 2004.

The presidential election is still eight months away, but already the candidates have been chosen and the battle has begun. John Kerry's big wins in last Tuesday's primary contest made him the unofficial Democratic nominee months before the convention. And just last week, the Bush campaign began advertising for his re-election. We'll talk about what the early stages of the race look like and why states like New Hampshire are considered "swing states". Mike's guest is Jennifer Donahue, Senior Advisor for Political Affairs at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics.
