New Hampshire delegates to the Democratic convention in Boston are on a mission perhaps only slightly less important than nominating their candidate for president. They are emissaries in the cause of protecting the state's first in the nation primary. The New Hampshire Political Library has armed them with a small booklet whose title describes the state as "The time tested presidential primary proving ground".

Thirty-Four delegates are representing New Hampshire at this week's Democratic National Convention. We'll talk to two of them. Ray Buckley is a state Representative from Manchester and a DNC veteran. He'll tell us all about the five previous conventions he's been to since 1980 and what it's like to be a 20 year old in the heart of the action. We'll also check in with alternate delegate Josh Glasheen, who's attending his very first national convention.
