Hello From Manchester

In Politics

The UDems bus finally got here. We got off the bus at 8:00AM after having left Charlottesville at 9:00PM. We got hardly any sleep on the bus. Paul broke out a bottle of whiskey and it was all down hill from there. We played Hold 'Em on the back of the bus using Goldfish crackers as chips. Paul ate all his chips and consequently got taken out of the game early. Around 1:00AM Paul started singing and a few people joined in. I'm sure many people on the bus were not pleased.

The bus then collectively fell asleep for a little while, but then woke up again around 2:30AM when Kristen shouted, "Hey! We're in New York!" We then stayed up until roughly 4:00AM. The final three hours everyone spent dozing in and out of sleep.

Everyone is out working for their candidates. We've rented a car from Enterprise and are driving around checking things out, currently doing some research at Manchester Public Library. Dave is looking up all the candidates' campaign events today so that we can crash some of them. We're looking at a Clark event this afternoon and a Kerry event for tonight. Perhaps Lindsay will be at the Clark event. We are too late for the Dean rally, which starts in 15 minutes.

Damn it's SO cold and the wind is blowing like crazy. It's a whopping 10 degrees without the windchill. I got off the bus this morning all bundled up. On the course of walking from the bus to McDonalds, which was about 25 feet, the cold managed to penetrate all of my layers. Kristen said to me after I complained, "Don't worry, you'll get numb and it will be fine." OK. If you ever find yourself saying that line, it is my strong belief that you should move somewhere warmer.

That is all I have for now. Check back later for more.
