If the Democratic race has narrowed to three top candidates and everyone else, elected officials here haven’t gotten the message: Some 95 percent of them, from members of the statehouse down to town party chiefs, have yet to pick a horse
MANCHESTER, N.H. — .
On a recent day in downtown Concord, the coffee shop across the street from the statehouse was teeming with Democratic campaign operatives meeting with potential endorsers. As that courtship drags out, campaigns have been forced to use young staffers to kick off traditional retail-politics events, instead of well-known headliners who can draw big crowds.
Story continues“Four years ago, we were laughing at the Republicans” over the size of the GOP field, said Raymond Buckley, chairman of the state Democratic Party. “It's all about retail politics,” Lynch said. “People want to look them in the eye and ask them questions.” “I know the Beto folks are religiously meeting with people very quietly,” he said. “They’re also keeping channels open to people who have already endorsed other candidates. Who knows? Biden may stumble.”Sen. Shaheen has said she will remain neutral; her husband said he needs more time. Sen. Maggie Hassan, who as governor endorsed Hillary Clinton five months before the primary, said she may pick a candidate at some point, but not yet. The same is true for Kuster and Rep. Chris Pappas.
