Yet victory in New Hampshire has been a right of passage for Massachusetts politicians seeking the presidency. John F. Kennedy, former Gov. Michael Dukakis and Sen. John F. Kerry all won here before taking the Democratic nomination. In 1980, Sen. Edward Kennedy lost, and the nomination went to President Jimmy Carter.

(In 1964, former Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. of Massachusetts, then U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam, won New Hampshire's Republican primary as a write-in candidate, but Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona went on to win the party's nomination that year.)
