Edwards is apparently doing something down at the high school today. Who hasn't been up here much though are Obama and Hillary-so it may be that some of the third place and back candidates are working NH while the front runners are concentrating elsewhere. I actually think what is going to happen is that some of the smaller states voting on the 5th are the states that will in the end get shafted by the heavy loaded day-the tier I candidates will focus on the big state, while some of the tier II candidates may try to work votes in the smaller states, but it probably won't do them much good.
