When I heard that Biden proposed changing this order; I assumed it was influenced in part by him performing poorly here and James Clyburne co-signing him to where everything turned around. Feels like he's paying back that favor.

Obviously biased as a NH resident, but I like it, so would be sad to see it go. I always found it to be so exciting and interesting.

The idea of NH is actually great in my opinion. It's as far from big money as possible if this was being brought to most other states. No major amount of land to cover and no major media markets, both of those things make it cheaper and more possible to start here. It's made more for the underdogs. Imagine if it was brought to a state with more major media markets, a bigger size and generally more expensive to run a campaign? $ would be a bigger barrier to entry than it already is. At least you can start here a little more minimal and see if you have what it takes to get any traction. Imagine if you started in states where it was much more expensive to run and maybe you had the ideas and could gain momentum, but couldn't overcome the financial barrier? You would have more rich people running and celebs or people with super large name ID. You wouldn't necessarily get better candidates.
