New Hampshire's importance as a primary state has steadily declined with each election, but boy are they and the media slow to give up on the notion.
Once a win here was a massive momentum builder and signalled a power in the primaries. Now, while its far from irrelevant, given the timing, it is much diminished.
In retrospect, Clinton's win in New Hampshire cannot be seen as critical. It temporarily blunted (but only slightly) the impact of Obama's win in Iowa, but did little to build momentum for her.
