Tied up in double knots, many reporters are sprawling all over New Hampshire.... Howard Kurtz asks Shapiro what's changed since he starting coming to the state in 1980?

The people have spoken. They said they want change. They said it's time to clean up Washington. They're tired of politics as usual.
