GOP candidates' strategies
for New Hampshire
for New Hampshire

Mitt Romney
The former Massachusetts governor has worked hard to win the New Hampshire primary. The Wolfeboro, N.H., summer resident announced his candidacy in the state and has staked his campaign on a primary victory. He also won the endorsement of former Governor John H. Sununu.


Newt Gingrich
The former House speaker has campaigned sporadically in New Hampshire, his campaign hampered after a defection by his national staff. He has spent time campaigning across the country, trying to build a base in an array of primary and caucus states.


Ron Paul
The Texas congressman has not placed any special emphasis on New Hampshire, instead conducting a cross-country campaign for the GOP presidential nomination. Nonetheless, he has enjoyed legislative support as well as backing from libertarians in the "live-free-or-die" state.


Jon Huntsman
The former Utah governor has staked his candidacy on a strong showing in the lead presidential primary state, transplanting his headquarters from Florida and pledging to boycott the Nevada caucuses when Republicans there threatened the timing of New Hampshire's vote.


Rick Santorum
The former Pennsylvania senator has been a regular campaigner in New Hampshire, casting himself as a reliably conservative figure in a state with a strong strain of conservatism. Nonetheless, he has consistently polled in the low single digits in the state.


Rick Perry
The Texas governor made New Hampshire his second stop after announcing his candidacy in South Carolina in August, and touted local endorsements. But he has focused on Iowa in an effort to win the state's caucuses and carry it into the ensuing Granite State primary.
