At some point in the 1970s, a man in Manchester, New Hampshire asks his friend, “What do you think about Mo Udall for president?” The other man replies, “I don’t know, I only met him twice.”

Or so goes John McCain’s oft-repeated joke about the Granite State’s brand of personal politics.

Now it appears that Hillary Clinton’s campaign is starting to get on New Hampshire’s nerves for being impersonal.

The Nashua Telegraph published an editorial Thursday that said a conference call by Clinton’s campaign with local media was “the antithesis of what NH is about.”

According to the Telegraph, the former secretary of state’s campaign expected that participating media would write stories from the call using unnamed sources only, even though it had “little or no substance.” Clinton’s campaign wanted to talk about their social media outreach plan.

A campaign press release indicates neither will be open to the public.

Helluva way to campaign...playing hide and seek with voters.

She’s running against nobody in the primary, and even that’s going to be a tough battle.

She's willing to meet with voters. They just have to be her voters.

And I think she is running rings round the media. They just don’t know what to do.

The woman has a 40+ year career of boundless corruption and drunken incompetence, and the people of NH are considering not supporting her because she hasn’t come up and pretended to like their pie. Pathetic, really.

Dear Lord, what have we come to that this person is considered a serious & *qualified* candidate for the Presidency of the USA?

I suppose that after Kenyan bastard (I mean that literally, not as personal insult), there is no such thing as a minimum or barrel bottom.

nail on head.

Seems the voters in NH care more about being sucked up to than the real facts of this woman.

Some say that the way to defeat an enemy in a strong defensive position is to storm that position. Many great strategists counseled bypassing the stronghold while leaving a token force to warn if the enemy ventures outside the walls.

Reagan would have bypassed.

Wow she looks bad. She has had work done or would look worse. And you would think someone running for President would cover the gray in her hair. It’s not like it’s natural anyway.

Her hand looks fake there.

I take it that’s her contemplative pose.

It is pathetic, but it illustrates how pampered and entitled these nobodies feel about themselves. I suspect there is a lot of this in Iowa too.
