An article on Palin appears in The Fix (Political News & Analysis by Chris Cilliza) at The Washington Post, entitled: Sarah Palin's New Hampshire problem?
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/eye-on-2012/-is-former-alaska-gov.html
First paragraph:
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin's decision to endorse former New Hampshire attorney general Kelly Ayotte in a contested Senate primary earlier this week immediately set off speculation about what it all meant for the 2008 vice presidential nominee's 2012 prospects.
The primary is being held on Sept. 14.
The article goes on to point out that Palin's endorsement included the sentence that Palin knew the New Hampshire-ites were a lot like Alaskans.
Those critical of her in the state are focusing on this statement. They say she may have gotten to know Ayotte in 2008 when she was a vice presidential candidate, but she has not spent time in the state since then so can't know what New Hampshire-ites are like.
The article is several hundred words long, and discusses other issues facing Palin as well. I do not cover it all here.
