Candidates Vie for New Hampshire Independent Votes

The Takeaway

With a state motto like “Live Free or Die,” you might expect that New Hampshire has a fair number of independent voters.  That’s what prompted  Anna Sale –  reporter for It’s a Free Country, the politics website of our co-producer WNYC –  to report from there.  Sale has been on the road speaking to independent voters across the country,  in an attempt to gauge which direction this large and crucial demographic is leaning as we approach the 2012 presidential election.  She’s spent the last few days in New Hampshire, focusing on how Republicans and Democrats are attempting to capture the independent vote there. Sale joins us to discuss the current voter climate in New Hampshire.
