    “I feel very confident based on the ground game—the resources we have, the money we have. We have one of our supporters who has knocked on 5,000 doors and he’s from the Meredith area and he’s a rock star in our organization,” Smith said.

    I sincerely hope Cruz’s ground game, the best I have ever known about, works in New Hampshire as it did in Iowa. I will be on pins and needles Tuesday, waiting for election results.
