New Hampshire Today, Jan. 11

In New Hampshire today life is returning to normal. Much of the campaign staff of candidates still in the race will get on a plane today for later primary and caucus states. I even overheard a conversation bookstore in Portsmouth talking about the Patriots. (Remember them?)

In fact the New Hampshire papers returned covering state Senators like Bob Odell, a Lempster Republican, who had an aide arrested for stealing money from his campaign account. There is also coverage of Medicaid and nursing homes and the governor's support of a carbon tax.

Seacoast supporters of Hillary Clinton and John McCain are pleased with the outcome of Tuesday's election.

With Bill Richardson dropping out yesterday, one of his high-profile supporters in the state, former Portsmouth Mayor Steve Marchand tells the Portsmouth Herald that Richardson would make a good vice presidential pick.
