...Having been out on the campaign trail with Tim many times over the years, I often found myself watching him as much as the candidates. Seeing him in the crowd in New Hampshire was like watching a baseball scout at a minor league game; you could follow his eyes to the talent, and immediately you knew who would cut it in the big leagues...

They settled on a first-floor office in a redbrick building next door to the county-city hall. An elderly Indian-American couple whose children had moved away offered three spare bedrooms for national campaign staffers who were soon to arrive. Warner set up the office...
