I grabbed the middle arrow and knock it for my walk out. My path is a narrow strip of mowed grass between a dense wooded area and a corn field. After blowing my nose and clearing my throat as much as I possibly could, hopefully so I do not need to do any of those things on stand, I started on my way. It was a short walk probably half a mile or less, but it always seemed to take forever on the way out there. Once I started my walk; my whole body seemed to go into survival mode.

    Stormy Weather: The New Hampshire Primary and Presidential Politics by Dante J. Scala is written with the intent to deliberately educate about the New Hampshire Primary. From its birth, with through many examples at various primaries, Stormy Weather does just that without skipping a single beat. Mr. Scala utilizes a concept from Analyst Rhodes Cook that breaks up the nomination process into five stages, but adopts it as his own by applying it almost exclusively to the New Hampshire Primary. The first stage, for example, is the “Exhibition Stage,” also known as the invisible primary due to the fact that there is nothing in place to indicate how well a candidate is performing during this timeframe.…
