A small number of New Hampshire’s voters and political elites hope almost despite themselves that Sen. Michael Bennet could be the ultimate dark horse primary candidate
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Michael Bennet is polling in 10th place. He hasn’t made a debate stage since July and won’t disclose how much money he raised last quarter.
As much as he may want to support Bennet, Shaheen’s first concern is electability. That’s what gives pause to potential Bennet supporters: Can he win? “What I think New Hampshire has revealed many times over, including in my ancient case, is that an awful lot of the voters do not make up their minds until the last seven to ten days,” Hart, now 83 and supporting Bennet, said in an interview from his home in Kittredge, Colo. “I wouldn't discount all the polls, the front runners and so forth. The polls do not reveal the undecideds the way they should, and that's what happened in our race.
That’s endearing to some in New Hampshire, especially those who are more interested in getting Trump out of office than any one specific platform. “They want to feel like this state is still important and that the on the ground campaigning can still make a difference for a candidate like it did in the old days,” Bennet said. Sometimes, he continued, candidates “have risen in New Hampshire simply because New Hampshire decides we're not going to accept the conventional wisdom, and instead we're going to pick a candidate we think can actually do whatever the mission is.
