The New Hampshire political scene resembles a game of Where’s Waldo? Granite State politicos, eager to attend informal gatherings and girding to fire their questions at town-hall meetings, are wondering where’s the campaign
There are many indicators of the state of American presidential politics: the myriad poll results; the various measures of the health of the economy; technical studies measuring media attention. But right now, the surest indicator is a refrigerator on the second floor of a low-slung white building beside the railroad tracks on Seavey Street here.
But there are no signatures from 2024 candidates, and that’s because the presidential campaign is taking on the characteristics of the eight-month period before the brutal battling of the Second World War. That was called the Phoney War, and American politics – measured by the reliable civic barometer of the Conway Daily Sun refrigerator – is in an unusually phoney period.
By this time in the 1972 political cycle, senator George McGovern, the eventual Democratic nominee, already was a declared candidate. By this time in the 1984 cycle, senator Gary Hart of Colorado, who crafted a stunning New Hampshire primary victory and almost won the Democratic presidential nomination, was an official candidate. In the 2008 cycle, Mr. Obama, who won the Iowa caucuses, and Ms. Clinton, who won the primary here, were in.
Ms. Haley, who is to visit here next week, already has received the opening volley of Mr. Trump’s rage. GOP Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina is sticking his toes in the cold waters of Iowa in the following week. But no one else – not Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, not former secretary of state Mike Pompeo, not former governor Larry Hogan of Maryland, all possible candidates – is stirring in public.
