On this special "We were supposed to be off this week and not do a podcast" edition of the podcast, we talk to former S. C. Gov. Nikki Haley from the car as she makes her way between campaign stops in the North Country.Obviously we talk about her less-than-ideal answer to the Civil War question during the town hall in Berlin, but also get her answer to the questions that have since been raised about her campaign. Can she handle hard questions? Is she tough enough to be the GOP nominee and take on the overwhelming tide of negative press that would follow?Also, we make a quick pitch for end-of-year support from those of you who like what NHJournal is doing and want to help us keep up the good work in 2024.
