...campaigns, their best hope lay with a ground operation run by a 34-year-old named Nick Clemons, a veteran of former Governor Jeanne Shaheen's operation. "The heart of our ground game was face-to-face contact," he said Wednesday morning, describing a strategy perfected by the Bush-Cheney reelection campaign in 2004. "I know that sounds like old ward-style politics, but it really works." The day before the election, Clemons had an army of 4,000 volunteers knocking on 105,000 New Hampshire doors.

...intensity level, you have to be able to have some fun or else you're not going to last very long," says Diaz, a native of Virginia who joined the National Republican Congressional Committee as deputy press secretary six years ago. He was a regional spokesman for Bush-Cheney in 2004 before joining the RNC for his first stint as communications director in 2006. In early 2007 he joined John McCain's press staff, but left that campaign amid the shake-ups of last summer and landed back...
