This was a comment by New Hampshire State Rep. Peter Sullivan on the blog with regards to the first-in-the-nation status of New Hampshire.

Actually, Manchester has a larger Latino population (percentage-wise) than Cleveland, Detroit and several other cities seen as "diverse". New Hampshire has booming Dominican, Bosnian, Sudanese and Indian communities. The old canard about it being lilly-white isn't as accurate as opponents of the primary would have you believe.

It's also important to remember that NH is a heavily suburban and exurban state. Where have the Democrats had the greatest difficulty over the last two cycles? The suburbs and exurbs. If a prospective Democratic nominee can demonstrate an appeal to the independent, suburban, middle class electorate in southern NH, he or she also stands to do well in places like northern Virginia, the Triangle in North Carolina, greater Phoenix, and the Denver suburbs.

For what it's worth, Sen. Feingold also supports the first in the nation status for New Hampshire.

I am appallled by the recent article that appeared in the Huffington Post. It is a disgrace and an unfair attack on Sen. Evan Bayh. Furthermore, I've been told that the site censors and edits comments by users.
