CHERISE: TONIGHT MARKS THE 25TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE 1992
FIRST-IN-THE-NATION NEW
HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY.
ADAM: IF YOU ASK PEOPLE WHO WON
THE DEMOCRATIC RACE THAT YEAR,
IT'S NOT UNCOMMON TO HEAR THEM
SAY BILL CLINTON.
HE ACTUALLY CAME IN SECOND, BUT
THAT CLOSER-THAN-EXPECTED FINISH
PUT HIM ON A PATH TO THE WHITE
HOUSE.
HERE'S A LOOK BACK AT A PRIMARY
THAT CHANGED U.S.
HISTORY A QUARTER-CENTURY AG
>> IT HAS BEEN A SUDDEN DROP FOR
THE STATE THAT HAD ONE OF THE
FASTEST GROWING ECONOMIES IN THE
COUNTRY DURING THE 1980'S.
IT STARTED WHEN NEW HAMPSHIRE'S
HIGH TECH INDUSTRY BEGAN LOSING
BUSINESS.
THEN, THE OVERBUILT REAL ESTATE
MARKET WENT BUST. PROPERTY
VALUES FELL FASTER THAN AT ANY
TIME SINCE THE DEPRESSION.
>> THE WHOLE STATE WAS
DEVASTATED.
WE HAD BEEN HIT HARD.
WE WERE LOOKING FOR SURVIVAL.
WE WERE LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY
WITH SOME ANSWERS.
ADAM: IN 1991, BILL CLINTON,
GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS, WAS A
RELATIVELY UNKNOWN DEMOCRAT WHO
CAME TO THE GRANITE STATE TO RUN
FOR PRESIDENT.
>> NOBODY RECOGNIZED HIM AT THE
HOTEL.
NOBODY RECOGNIZED HIM.
SO I THOUGHT ONLY I WOULD PICK
THE CANDIDATE WHO'D FINISH 18TH
OUT OF 17 SPOTS, BUT I LIKED
HIM.
SO I SAID, OK, BE HAPPY YOU KNOW
THE GUY.
>> I HOPE THE PEOPLE OF NEW
HAMPSHIRE WILL GIVE ME A LISTEN.
I'M NOT AT ALL DISCOURAGED BY
THE POLLS.
ADAM: CLINTON HIT THE
FIRST-IN-THE-NATION CAMPAIGN
TRAIL PUTTING HIS NATURAL
POLITICAL SKILLS TO WORK.
>> HE NEVER TURNED AWAY FROM A
PERSON WHO WANTED TO SHAKE HIS
HAND.
HE WANTED TO SEE THE LAST PERSON
GOING OUT THE DOOR.
IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE HOW
COMMITTED HE WAS TO THE PERSONAL
INTERACTIONS
>> YOU CAN TELL THAT HE REALLY
CARES.
IT'S LIKE YOU AND I TALKING
RIGHT NOW.
HE HAS A WAY OF MAKING EVE
SINGLE PERSON FEEL HE IS TALKING
TO THEM AND HE I
>> WHEN BILL CLINTON SPEAKS TO
SOMEBODY, HE'LL GRAB YOUR HAND,
AND HE'LL KEEP HOLDING YOUR HAND
WHILE HE'S TALKING TO YOU.
MEANWHILE, HIS EYES ARE LOCKED
ON YOU AND YOUR EYES ARE LOCKED
ON HIM.
AND THAT PERSONAL CONNECTION
BECOMES VERY STRONG.
ADAM: BUT NOT EVERYONE WAS
SOLD RIGHT AWAY.
>> I SAID TO HIM YOU'RE GOING TO
, HAVE TO CONVINCE ME.
THIS IS A TWO-WAY STREET HERE.
YOU GUYS ALWAYS BLOW IN HERE
EVERY FOUR YEARS AND YOU TELL US
WHAT WE WANT TO HEAR AND YOU
DON'T EVEN REMEMBER OUR NAMES
AND YOU'RE GONE.
THAT'S WHEN HE SAID TO ME IF YOU
STICK WITH ME AND HUNT WITH ME,
GEORGE, I'LL NEVER FORGET THE
PEOPLE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THE
PEOPLE WHO'VE HELPED ME, AND
I'LL BE WITH YOU TIL THE LAST
DOG DIES.
ADAM: THAT PHRASE WOULD COME IN
HANDY AGAIN LATER IN THE
CAMPAIGN.
MEANTIME, CLINTON HAD BECOME THE
FRONT-RUNNER IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
>> I'M THE ONLY PERSON RUNNING
IN EITHER PARTY WHO'S GOT MORE
THAN A DECADE OF EXPERIENCE IN
WORKING TO GET AND KEEP GOOD
JOBS, EDUCATE PEOPLE, SOLVE
SOCIAL PROBLEMS, TAKE CARE OF
HEALTHCARE NEEDS AND THINGS OF
THAT KIND.
THAT'S WHY I'M A DIFFERENT KIND
OF DEMOCRAT.
>> I WAS HAPPY WHEN WE WENT TO
FIRST PLACE IN THE POLLS.
AND I WAS FAIRLY YOUNG AND NAIVE
IN THOSE DAYS.
AND THE NATIONAL ADVISORS
INCLUDING GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS
AND THE POLLSTERS SAID THIS
NOT A GOOD THING BEING FIRST
PLACE IN THE POLLS BECAUSE THAT
MEANS EVERYBODY'S GOING TO COME
AFTER US.
ADAM: IN LATE JANUARY, CLINTON
WAS IN CLAREMONT TO ANNOUNCE A
DEAL CONNECTING A LOCAL
MANUFACTURER WITH HIS HOME-STATE
RETAIL GIANT, WALMART.
>> THEY THEN ADDED A THIRD SHIFT
TO THEIR PLANT, AND THAT
TRANSLATED INTO 50 OR 60 N
WORKERS, SO WE WOULD PUT UP
SIGNS SAYING BILL CLINTON HAD
DONE MORE IN ONE VISIT TO
CLAREMONT PRODUCING JOBS THAN
WHAT GEORGE BUSH HAD DONE IN
YEARS.
ADAM: BUT THE HEADLINES THAT DAY
WOULD BE VERY DIFFERENT.
>> YES, I WAS BILL CLINTON'S
LOVER FOR 12 YEARS.
FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, I HAVE
LIED TO THE PRESS ABOUT A
RELATIONSHIP TO PROTECT HIM.
ADAM: SUDDENLY A CANDIDATE
FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE WAS DRAWN
BACK INTO THE PAST.
>> YESTERDAY, CLINTON MADE HIS
FIRST PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE
INFIDELITY ALLEGATIONS PLAGUING
HIS CAMPAIGN.
>> NOTHING TURNED UP UNTIL THE
TABLOID STARTED HANDING OUT
MONEY.
>> HAVE YOU EVER HAD A NEXT HER
MARITAL AFFAIR?
IF I HAD, I WOULD NOT TELL
YOU.
>> HE ACTED LIKE YOU'RE AT WAR.
WE'RE IN THE RIGHT, WE NEED TO
GO FORWARD, THEY'RE GOING TO
THROW THINGS AT US, AND WE'VE
GOT TO KEEP GOING.
ARE YOU WITH ME?
YES.
WE ARE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
US.
ADAM: AS CLINTON TRIED TO FORGE
AHEAD ANOTHER SCANDAL BROKE.
, >> ACCUSING REPUBLICANS OF
LEAKING HIS SELECTIVE SERVICE
FILE, CLINTON TALKED ABOUT THE
LETTER HE WROTE IN 1969.
>> HE SIGNED A CONTRACT AND DID
NOT HONOR IT.
>> HE WILL TELL YOU I WAS A
TROUBLED YOUNG MAN OPPOSED THE
VIETNAM WAR, BUT I DID NOT DO
ANYTHING WRONG.
I HAVE TO ADMIT I HAVE LOVED
THIS.
>> I SAID GOVERNOR CAN I ASK YOU
A QUESTION?
HE SAID SURE.
I SAID DO YOU WANT TO BE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?
HE TURNED AND SAID WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
I SAID WHAT YOU JUST DID BACK
THERE IN NASHUA, THAT WAS
TERRIBLE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU THAT BAD,
SIR.
IF YOU CONTINUE LIKE THAT YOU
MIGHT AS WELL GO HOME NOW.
CAN YOU IMAGINE SAYING THAT?
I CAN'T BELIEVE I SAID IT, BUT I
DID.
I WAS FRUSTRATED
HE SAID, WELL DO YOU HAVE ANY
, IDEAS?
I SAID ACTUALLY I DO, SIR.
SO I HANDED HIM THE TWO-PAGE
MEMO TERRY AND I HAD DONE.
HE READ IT, HANDED IT BACK TO
HILLARY AND SAID TO CARVILLE AND
STEPHANOPOULOS READ THIS DAMN
THING.
WHY AREN'T WE DOING THIS STUFF?
FIRST THING WAS TO GO TO THE
MALL.
ADAM: CLINTON RE-FOCUSED ON
RETAIL CAMPAIGNING AND
CONNECTING WITH VOTERS.
THEM AND CONNECTING WITH THE
PEOPLE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
>> SO WE WENT AND SPENT HALF THE
DAY ON A SATURDAY AT THE MALL
AND PEOPLE KEPT COMING UP TO HIM
AND SAYING 'GOVERNOR YOU SEEM
LIKE A GOOD GUY TO US, WE LIKE
YOUR IDEAS, HANG IN THERE, DON'T
GIVE UP.'
AND HE TOOK STRENGTH FROM THAT.
ADAM: IN THE CAMPAIGN'S DARKEST
HOURS, CLINTON'S NEW HAMPSHIRE
TEAM STOOD FIRM.
>> THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT.
I THINK IF ANY ONE OF THE
CO-CHAIRS OR HIS KEY SUPPORTERS
HAD LEFT HIM, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
VERY INJURIOUS.
BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
ADAM: STILL, MANY VOTERS WERE
SKEPTICAL.
CLINTON'S LOCAL ADVISORS TOLD
HIM HE HAD TO ASK FOR A SECOND
CHANCE
AND HE DID, AT THE ELKS CLUB IN
DOVER.
>> I'M GONNA GIVE YOU THIS
ELECTION BACK, AND IF YOU'LL
GIVE IT TO ME I WON'T BE LIKE
GEORGE BUSH.
I'LL NEVER FORGET WHO GAVE ME A
SECOND CHANCE AND I'LL BE THERE
FOR YOU 'TIL THE LAST DOG DIES.
AND I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER THAT.
[APPLAUSE]
>> I CAN REMEMBER RIGHT
AFTERWARDS WE SHOOK HANDS AT T
DOOR, EVERYBODY WHO LEFT GOT A
CHANCE TO SAY HI TO HIM, A
AFTERWARDS HE SAID WHAT DO YOU
THINK?
I SAID YOU HIT IT OUT OF THE
PARK.
ADAM: CLINTON MAINTAINED A
RELENTLESS PACE THROUGH ELECTION
DAY.
WHEN THE VOTES STARTED TO COME
IN AND IT WAS CLEAR HE WOULD
FINISH AN UNEXPECTEDLY STRONG
SECOND, HE TOOK THE STAGE
LOOKING LIKE A WINNER.
>> HE CAME DOWN EARLY 8:30 OR
, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHILE THE
NETWORKS WERE COVERING THE
PRIMARY BUT NO REAL FINAL
RESULTS WERE IN, AND HE CAME
DOWN AND SAID --
>> WHILE THE EVENING IS YOUNG
AND WE DON'T KNOW YET WHAT THE
FINAL TALLY WILL BE, I THINK WE
KNOW ENOUGH TO SAY WITH SOME
CERTAINTY THAT NEW HAMPSHIRE,
TONIGHT HAS MADE BILL CLINTON
THE 'COMEBACK KID.'
>> I MEAN, THE ROAR WAS
INCREDIBLE.
WE WERE DELIRIOUS.
>> I THINK THE OTHER PEOPLE
INVOLVED IN THE CAMPAIGN WOULD
SAY THE SAME THING.
ONE OF THE PROUDEST THINGS I'VE
DONE IN MY LIFE IS TO SUPPORT
BILL CLINTON.
>> THIS WAS OUR CANDIDATE AND WE
WERE GOING TO STICK WITH HIM.
AND WE DID.
THE DOG DIES STORY GOES TWO
WAYS.
WE STAYED WITH HIM.
ADAM: IS FOR IS THE LAST DOG
