The Baby Primary

The Baby Primary

Can I get my 5-month-old daughter photographed with every presidential candidate?

As a resident of the "Live Free or Die" state, I'll concede that the New Hampshire presidential primary gives us ridiculously disproportionate influence. But I love the fact that my state's electoral power comes with a great fringe benefit: It's easy to enshrine the next president in your family scrapbook. A sucker for political kitsch, I set out to photograph my 5-month-old daughter, Dahlia, in the arms of every candidate with a prayer of making it to the White House.


This woman has way too much time on her hands. I understand why she's doing it, but there are better things to do to make a statement.
