CWPODCAST92: Preview: New Hampshire, With Steve Maviglio

Episode Summary

In the wake of the Iowa Caucus debacle, the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire Primary takes on added significance in a presidential primary race that appears to have blown wide open. Veteran California political consultant Steve Maviglio is from the Granite State - and served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. Winning a spot in the sprawling 400-seat body requires retail politicking on a scale rarely seen in California, but that's business as usual for New Hampshirans, who expect to see the presidential candidates stumping at their local VFW Hall every four years. Steve joins us to talk about the realities of campaigning in New Hampshire and what to expect next Tuesday.
