The Great New Hampshire Primary Myth

This book explodes the myth that winning the New Hampshire Primary guarantees a candidate his/her party's nomination. This book takes a critical look at those ten New Hampshire primaries in which the winner did not eventually receive his or her party's nomination for President. It explores why those winners did not become automatic "frontrunners" and drive all other candidates from the field in short order. It explains why the American press sometimes declares the second place finisher the "winner" and why expectations and perceptions are more important than actual vote totals. This book also points out the factors that are likely lead to a New Hampshire winner not to receive the nomination for President. In addition, he shows the reader how to predict the possibility of such a New Hampshire upset in the future.
