Hart, Buchanan Defend NH Primary

Last night, the New Hampshire Political Library honored Pat Buchanan, Gary Hart and former Bush Chief of Staff Andy Card. All three honorees defended the New Hampshire primary and argued its status is critical to the primary system. Pat Buchanan, GOP winner of the 1996 primary, said ''If you hold a national primary, it'll be a validation of a Gallup poll,'' While, former Colorado Senator Gary Hart ''It's so silly for California to think that by moving forward, they'll see more of the candidates.''
