New Hampshire's "First in the Nation" primary is rich in history. Every four years it becomes a time of legendary speeches, momentous victories are gritty defeats. Where fringe candidates get their 15 minutes of fame and where the tiny Granite State is placed under the national political microscope. We'll relive some of these moments, learn about its great history, and discuss its growing significance in the realm of national politics. Trish's guests are Michael Chaney, Executive Director of the New Hampshire Political Library and Dante Scala, Associate Professor of Politics at Saint Anselm's College and author of the forthcoming book, “Stormy Weather: The NH primary and Presidential. Politics”.
