New Hampshire Under Siege
Rumbles in the Granite State
The disheveled Dems all flew in in the wee hours of the morning. It's going to be a long, cold, brutal week.

Lieberman may have just received the endorsement of New Hampshire's only statewide paper, The Union Leader, but he and Clark have had the state to themselves for a week now and his movement in the polls has been negligible. His candidacy seems unlikely to catch fire with all the post-Iowa excitement surrounding Kerry and Edwards now.
Meanwhile poor, poor, Dennis Kucinich figures his campaign is right on track with his one percent showing in Iowa. "No one figured we'd do any better than fifth place, so I neither exceeded nor fell below expectations," he explained.
Not everything that happened in Iowa last night was a surprise, but it did set the stage for a bitter New Hampshire primary fight. The major candidates all flew into the state last night in the wee hours of the morning. The temperature is set to go below freezing again tonight. Some wag might call it the winter of the Democrats' discontent.
