UNH Students Vote in Mock Primary

By Amy Quinton on Wednesday, December 12, 2007.

If young voters at the University of New Hampshire decide the presidential primary, Republican Rudy Guiliani and Democrat Barack Obama might win.

Early results show them ahead after the first day of the “Wildcats Vote”, a mock election UNH is holding this week.

As New Hampshire Public Radio’s Amy Quinton reports, the goal of the mock election is not to see who’s the most popular – but to get students to the polls on January 8th.

The Iowa/New Hampshire Exchange: Environment

By Laura Knoy on Wednesday, December 12, 2007.

In the morning, we air an Exchange program from April of this year on the greening of business and then later in the afternoon at 2pm, the third and final installment of our Iowa/New Hampshire Exchange series broadcasts live. The topic- the environment. In Iowa, corn is king and ethanol policy has a huge impact on farmers. In New Hampshire, conservation and preservation are near and dear to many voters. Our guests discuss the differences between Iowa and New Hampshire in terms of environmental concerns and how the presidential candidates are talking about those issues…depending on what state they are campaigning in.

Laura co-hosts today's program with Ben Kieffer, who hosts Iowa Public Radio's talk show, also called The Exchange.
