American Democracy Conference 2003: The Presidential Nomination Process

The 6th annual American Democracy Conference was held on Friday, December 12, 2003 at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College in Manchester, NH from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The University of Virginia Center for Politics hosted this year's conference in coordination with the New Hampshire Institute of Politics and The Hotline.

The American Democracy Conference has traditionally brought together America's top political insiders - pollsters, journalists, party representatives, and a wide range of behind-the-scenes strategists - to discuss the most recent election and to look forward to the upcoming political season. Because 2003 was an off-year that features only three gubernatorial elections, the entire focus of the 2003 conference was on the upcoming presidential nomination process, with particular attention to the pivotal role the New Hampshire primary plays in presidential politics.
