ST. PETERSBURG --  A group of students from the University of South Florida. St. Petersburg are headed to New Hampshire for the nation's first primary.

Each student will take part in a presidential candidate's campaign to learn first-hand how the political process works. It's part of their class "Road to the White House."

"I've worked on five presidential elections in New Hampshire," said USF Professor Judithanne McLauchlan. "I can talk to them about it, but there's really nothing, no substitute for being up there and seeing it yourself first-hand."
The students will blog daily about their experiences on the campaign trail.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said student Terran Winegeart. "You can campaign for senators, but for the potential Presidential of the United States, it's a really big deal."

They leave for New Hampshire this weekend. The primary is Feb. 9.
