...policy, providing the central rationale for maintaining close ties with what is, after all, an unapologetically authoritarian regime. But China's Me generation could shatter such long-held assumptions. As the chief beneficiaries of China's economic success, young professionals have more and more tied up in preserving the status quo. The last thing they want is a populist politician winning over the country's hundreds of millions of have-nots on a rural-reform, stick-it-to-the-cities agenda...
...former Senator from Tennessee, is the cure-all for their party's ills. Thompson has yet to enter the presidential race. He has, in fact, postponed until after Labor Day an official announcement that was supposed to be made in July.

Politicians, especially those who have run or are running for president, support New Hampshire’s primary. This is an obvious point, but it further demonstrates the savvy of New Hampshire voters. New Hampshirites wield the product of their first in the nation status, which is exposure, to retain more of that same product in the future. No politician who hopes to win the New Hampshire primary can say to those same voters that the primary should be moved back in the name of giving a more representative (or simply different) state a chance. This is a tough position...
