Contrary to the perception that presidential candidates travel to every nook and cranny across the state to win votes in the nation's first primary, they mostly stick to a well-worn path. [...] this cycle, candidates have made more than 500 stops in 89 of the state's 234 towns and cities, according to candidate schedules compiled by New England Cable News. A Republican, he said that he hasn't invested much time yet in assessing this cycle's large cast of candidates, but that he expects to pay more attention to the news and debates once they get going. There's no definitive list of where candidates have gone in the 100 years since New Hampshire held its first presidential primary, but in the past decade, the sole candidate to visit Washington was Republican Jon Huntsman, who stopped at the general store in December 2011, according to candidate tracking websites maintained by George Washington University, Democracy in Action and New England Cable News. Republican Rick Santorum held a town hall meeting in Jefferson in 2011, Ron Paul scheduled and then canceled a trip to Madison in 2007, and if any candidate has stepped foot in Monroe, there's no record of it. Steve Hanssen, a Republican and retired federal reserve banker who moved to Washington from New York 13 years ago, said he is keeping close tabs on the presidential race, even if none of the candidates come close to his town.
