Following the great Democrat debate, the candidates seem to have capitalised on the national media spotlight by spreading their appearances around the country. This leaves New Hampshire with a bit of a lull.
The only person on the hustings this week seems to be Elizabeth Edwards, campaigning on behalf of her husband, John Edwards. Elizabeth recently was diagnosed with an symptomatic return of her breast cancer but, if anything, she has redoubled her commitment to her husband's bid for the presidency. She is an admirable powerhouse and a spectacular asset to the former North Carolina senator.
Nonetheless, she is not a drawcard for me since she is not a candidate. Well, unless this primary is about electing the First Lady.
So I continue to monitor the candidates' websites and the New Hampshire Primary websites looking for new diary annoucements which, oddly, seem to come very suddenly with only a day or so to spare before the candidate turns up in town. Hence, vigilance is required or, whoosh, they've come and gone.
Meanwhile, it is voracious tracking of the candidates through the media, reading Barack Obama's beautifully-written memoir - and waiting to see when or if the Hillary campaign is going to use some of my time.
