I think the political consultants here have finally realized that 
most people in Southern NH do not watch or listen to NH media, they 
watch and listen to Boston media.  WMUR's influence is mostly in 
areas from Manchester and north.

It's not uncommon in the past for someone to vote in southern NH and 
then complain to the poll workers that the MA candidates were not on 
the ballot.
