Abstract:

This article, rather than focusing on media expectations as the key to momentum in presidential primary contests, instead concentrates on the ?fundamentals? of the New Hampshire Democratic primary vote in 1988, 1992, and 2000 as key predictors of success in subsequent presidential primaries. (This is something akin to picking stocks based on old-fashioned measures of value such as price-earnings ratios, as opposed to buying whichever stocks have the best buzz from various brokers on CNBC.) By focusing on how well candidates did with particular segments of the New Hampshire Democratic primary vote, such as the working-class and the liberal elite, we can see which candidates showed ?sound fundamentals? ? that is, evidence of a broad-based coalition composed of both the liberal elite and the working-class base ? and which candidates showed ?weak fundamentals,? or support from just one faction of the party, with little evidence of the ability to build a coalition among the Democratic Party electorate. During the last three Democratic party cycles, it has been the ?coalition candidate,? not the candidate of a particular faction of the party, that has proceeded to win the party?s nomination.
