Although my name is mentioned in this article, the Clinton campaign you are describing here is not the Clinton campaign that I am involved with in New Hampshire. We have been making a significant effort to reach out to every voter in the state, with a neighbor to neighbor program, shoe leather, telephones, and the like. The races that you mention that were won by NH Democrats over the last few years were not won through "massaging egos" - quite the opposite. I am not supporting Senator Clinton because of free tickets to high end fundraisers (I don't recall being offered any). I am supporting her because she will make the best president, has the most detailed policy positions on issues that matter to me like energy & the environment and health care, has always taken a principled stand on matters relating to choice, and has the intelligence and common sense to clean up the mess George W. Bush has created in Washington. If this was a campaign relying on egos, endorsements and an aura of inevitability, I would be spending my weekends skiing, instead of making pasta for volunteers and calling undecided voters from phonebanks!
