Newport, N.H.
Robert Scott, a local Republican leader, is introducing this crowd of around 200 at the Newport Recreation Department to presidential candidate Jon Huntsman. At least, that’s what he says he’s doing.

Scott begins by misquoting the Concord Sage, Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his moderate New England accent. “‘Opportunity is just another name for America,’” he says. “But I have to tell you, we have a diminishing amount of opportunity in America today, and a declining quality of life.”
