Hillary Clinton will try to recapture old New Hampshire magic
Hillary Rodham Clinton has already announced her candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the presidency in the 2016 election. Now, the former United States Secretary of State will try to recapture the magic of 'come from behind' win in the 2008 New Hampshire primary as Hillary comes back to the state that gave her first presidential campaign.
Clinton arrived in the state as the leading candidate for the Democratic Party nomination. Now, Hillary has been facing little opposition. Hillary's campaign has been designed in a manner to show that she is not taking her position for granted. Like last week in Iowa, Hillary has planned to skip the huge packed rallies that had marked her last campaign. She is now focused on smaller events with some selected group of supporters.
On Monday, she has planned to speak with employees of Whitney Brothers Inc., which is a small business focused on making wood furniture. On Tuesday, she will hold a meeting with students and teachers at New Hampshire Technical Institute in Concord.
New Hampshire has been lucky for the Clinton family. It has long been a fertile ground for the family. More than two decades ago, a second-place finish in the stated made Hillary Clinton's husband and 42nd President of the United States the 'comeback kid'. More than 15 years later, victory in New Hampshire saved Hillary Clinton's campaign from a third-place finish in Iowa.
In 2014, Hillary spoke to a rally in the state ahead of the midterm elections. At that time, she also recalled the dark days of her 2008 campaign. She said, "You lifted me up, you gave me my voice back, you taught me so much about grit and determination. And I will never forget that".
