Dartmouth College government professor Linda Fowler joined Morning Edition Tuesday to discuss the Granite State's particular place in the primaries.

"New Hampshire voters typically make up their minds late in the campaign, and as of Monday we still had a lot of undecided voters. And that's what gives the primary its energy," Fowler said.
