Gephardt's dire economic warnings seem ill suited for booming New Hampshire. But the Missouri Congressman insists that he does not need a depressed farm economy to sell his brand of downbeat realism. "Even in New Hampshire," he argued in a TIME interview, "there's the feeling that people are not getting ahead economically; they can't buy the house; they can't afford the education.
