鈥淚t is going to be an exciting year. This is unprecedented 鈥� all these candidates. They are all running around. You drive up the highway, and Chris Christie鈥檚 motorcade goes by you.
鈥淭his actually happened to me鈥� I had a candidate in the TV studio here at the Institute of Politics, it was Rand Paul. Later I got on the highway, Chris Christie鈥檚 two New Jersey motorcade vehicles passed me. Then I came off the exit in Concord, was driving down the road to find a parking spot and to get my hair cut, and there was John Kasich, waving, 鈥楬ey, Neil!'鈥�
鈥淭his is not unusual. It鈥檚 New Hampshire.鈥�
