New Hampshire Excitement

In Politics

We've been having a pretty exciting time up here so far. We have been jumping from campaign to campaign, since none of us are hell bent on any one candidate. So far we have only been to Kerry and Clark events.

Yesterday we went to a Kerry event for veterans. That went pretty well, except that Kerry kept making references to "chinamen" sabotaging the campaign event. That was kind of uncomfortable.

After that we went to a Clark town hall meeting in Derry, NH. The setup for this event was really well, it looked great. However, the people doing the introductions were sub par. Two of Clark's old friends from West Point came up to talk about his time at West Point and really didn't have much to say. They were basically filling the time since Clark was late. We ended up having to leave early from the event because people from Kerry's campaign were getting back to the hotel and we had the keys.

This morning we went and got some pancakes at a Clark event in a fire department. The pancakes were good and the place was packed far beyond what the firemarshall would allow, ironically. I was on MSNBC live for a few minutes while a reporter was interviewing Ted Danson, who is endorsing Clark. I also managed to get a picture with him.

Later today we're going to "Cup o' Joe with Joe (Lieberman)" and Bowling with John Edwards.

Everyone from the Kerry, Clark, and Edwards campaign seems to be having a good time. The Dean volunteers are a different story, however. The Dean campaign is working them like farm animals. All of the other kids have been able to go to a rally and see some exciting things. Not for the Dean kids. They just walk far away precincts all day and aren't allowed to take lunch breaks. A lot of them are thinking about jumping ship and going to work from someone else.

Besides that, here is a list of the celebrities that we have seen so far in NH:

Rob Cordry, The Daily Show
Paul Begala, CNN's Crossfire
Judy Woodruff, CNN's Inside Politics
Bob Novak, CNN's Crossfire
Gary Hart, Former CO Senator and Presidential Candidate
Max Cleland, Former Senator
Ted Danson, Random Actor
