"Clinton supporters take her campaign to a new level"

A day after their candidate's sixth visit to New Hampshire this primary season, supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton took to the streets, the phones and the blogs yesterday in an effort to boost her Presidential campaign to the next level.

It's the sort of push that usually comes in winter, accompanied by snow, sub-freezing temperatures and layers of fleece. So yesterday's perfect late-spring weather, and the shorts and sandals worn by the mostly young volunteers, seemed a bit incongruous to political veterans.

Even the candidate said this campaign "feels different" from other presidential primary seasons -- including the one leading up to her husband's first election in 1992. "I keep telling people I've never seen a presidential campaign get started so early and so intensely," Sen. Clinton, D-N.Y., told the New Hampshire Sunday News in a telephone interview late last week.

"I've had lots of people tell me, and I've observed myself, that the crowds that we're getting are crowds you would get a week before the primary."

She has a theory on why that's happening: "I believe part of it is people are anxious to turn the page. They want to get to the future, and this is a tangible way for hundreds of people to feel they're helping to change the direction of the country."

So why the push this weekend in New Hampshire? Clinton, who has maintained a steady, although not increasing, lead over her closest rivals, John Edwards and Barack Obama, in recent New Hampshire polls, said the impetus is coming from her supporters on the ground here.

"It's a good problem to have," she said. "We have a very large and growing number of volunteers who are anxious to kick this campaign off and do the work that is so important, of voter contact and talking about issues."
