1.  Forbes is an unlikely vice presidential candidate himself, partly because of his intense attacks on Dole in the early primary states.

2.  The campaigns used to emphasize face-to-face campaigning in early caucus and primary states, they say.

3.  And his two visits to New Hampshire, the first-in-the-nation primary state, were cursory at best.

4.  An outsider or a special interest should not be able to come into a primary state and drop millions to sway voters with misleading ads.

5.  And his television advertisements and two-bus caravan of blaring music and campaign workers in Forbes uniforms have become fixtures in the early primary states.

6.  And polls were already beginning to show that Forbes was still stuck in the single digit range in such important upcoming primary states as Michigan and South Carolina.

7.  And he hopes strong showings in Iowa and New Hampshire will give him momentum in California and other early primary states.

8.  And in this first-in-the-nation primary state, he has courted activists and put together a seasoned group of political strategists.

9.  And voters in the early primary states chose active over passive.

10.  Besides New Hampshire, the first presidential primary state, the ad will be seen in the Washington area.
