After going table to table shaking hands with mostly high school students from Massachusetts –unable to vote in the Granite state - he squeezed through the crush of reporters to the other side of the diner where there were a fair number of New Hampshire voters.

Paul, the Texas congressman, was supposed to sit down and eat breakfast.

But he stopped working the room and instead walked out and got in his car after less than 15 minutes of glad handing.

As he stood outside, pinned against his car doing a television interview, one angry New Hampshire voter came out to find him.

Karen Heller tried unsuccessfully to get close to Paul and ask him to come back in, saying she had brought her 90-year-old mother to meet him.

An angry Heller told reporters the Paul campaign promised he would shake everyone's hand, and was quite upset he left so abruptly.

Heller, an independent who voted for President Barack Obama in the New Hampshire primary four years ago, told CNN afterward she was leaning toward Paul but is now unlikely to vote for him.

"If I met him, looked him in the eye and liked him he would have gotten my vote tomorrow and instead I'm turned off," Heller said.

Paul seemed quite overwhelmed by the media madness around him - and with the grip and grin generally required of candidates. His aides insist he spent a year shaking hands and meeting voters at diners like this, just without the throngs of reporters and cameras.

Heller –a classic New Hampshire voter– said if Paul wants to campaign here he's got to deal with it and work through it "like all the other candidates."

Despite the ruckus, several New Hampshire voters at Moe and Joes said they are going to support Paul.
