Buchanan, the conservative television commentator and maverick candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination in the New Hampshire primary on Feb. 18, is in the middle of a daylong campaign blitz along the western edge of the state. By late morning the candidate has made his way to Butson's supermarket in Woodsville. Trailed by a ramshackle army of campaign aides and media people, microphone booms raised like halberds, he enters the store in search of votes. Halfway down the first aisle he accepts a slice of pizza from a young woman handing out samples. As he begins to munch, photographers and television crews jostle for position in front of him, TV lights blazing and photographic strobes flashing. After a moment, Mr. Buchanan heads down another aisle and buys a ticket for the New Hampshire lottery. Again, photographers and television crews cluster eagerly, as he holds up the ticket and half-eaten slice of pizza.
