Underdog candidates crowd New Hampshire primary
In Concord New Hampshire the first in the nation presidential primary is crowded with underdog candidates who seek only a credible showing. Ex North Carolina Gov Terry Sanford and ex Georgia Gov Jimmy Carter say the real test comes after New Hampshire, aiming to defeat George Wallace in upcoming primaries.
