This won't have any effect on the number of votes the Dem nominees in NH get 11/5/2024, and no effect on the general election result. Also, no Democrat nationwide cares about some other state than NH being FITN

Almost like some of them do have the interests of the state in mind and not just the party. FITN has its benefits for the state.

The hospitality industry gets a big boost from all of the staffers and media needing hotel rooms for months on end. Not to mention, all of the money that WMUR and the radio stations across the state take in from the campaign ads.

I'd be interested in a study on the economic impact of the FITN primary.

Also, staging, AV, professional photographers and videographers, and the colleges that benefit from enrollment from the political access FITN offers.

Certainly.

With that said, am I supposed to support NH being first every year...."because we said so"? I don't really see why we should be perpetually special even if it is beneficial to the state.

Something can be good for the state and also not really make any sense in terms of fairness.

Short answer? Yes.

I mean, that's an opinion I suppose.

Given that there's 49 other states, I'm not seeing why they'd agree that NH deserves to be the most important in perpetuity.

At best I've got "NH is a swing state"...but that'd still suggest it should rotate at least a bit between a few swing states. Or that a bunch of them should be on the same day.

Of course. After all you are a special snowflake.

How do you gather that from a three word answer? Get a life. 😂
