Road to the White House

YAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! Clark got third which is great! I am very proud of his finish and I think he can catch up to Kerry is the southern states. Today was insaine though... from 6 to 11 we stood outside in the 12 degress cold holding signs in front of the signs. For the rest of the day it became intense phone banking and GOTV efforts. When it got close to the end of the polls everyone in our office started to go crazy when we got a lead that we were in dead heat with Edwards. Overall this whole trip was great and I am very thankful that a got chance to be a part of it.

Hello...Today was a pretty good day. As we woke up at 6 45 and made down to the seminar I did not know if I was going to make through the whole day without falling over, but I did. As soon as we arrived at the office we went passing out the Clark CD's in restaurants and stores and down town. I think we were able to convince a few people to vote for Clark and I feel confident that the DVD's will pull in some votes as well. After we finished doing that we went to the the Clark even that was right in front of Nashua City Hall. It was great we had a super turn out and we many politicians speak on behalf of Clark. Afterwards we went back to the office and continued phone banking trying to get out the vote for tomorrow I am extremely nervous and I am preying for at least a second place showing from Clark. I feel the energy from Clark supporters so I feel confident. Right now almost everybody in the office as an esspreso and were all ready to pull an all nighter!!!!

Today was so cool. We went to the biggest event so far in DW College for a rally for Clark was held. It was packed and we even had to start turning away people. The former mayor of Ny Dennis spoke and the Democrat senator from NY Charlie spoke, and Ted Danson and his wife Mary S. was there to speak as well. Clark did an awesome job and we have watched his progress build since we've been here. It was kind of funny because Peter Jennings was there and as we were exiting, the General was in the back and we were passing right by him when Peter called us out. He said hey are these some of your people talking to the security. Security stopped us and asked to go back but when we told them we were trying to get out not get back stage there like oh ok. Right now the whole office is phone banking or making signs for tomorrows event. Ill tell u about it Monday.

Hey Hey...Today was great! So many people came to the Clark office today for the weekend. The place is packed with volunteers and supporters and right then I felt so much energy from the whole office; it just gave me a great feeling. Next I went to the Democrat 100 party dinner where all the candidates made speeches and walked around to meet supporters. I met Howard Dean first who was ready to get out and in a hurry; I got really close to John Kerry but did not meet him, but got a great pic he was in a hurry to do his speech; and of course I met Wes again. It was the best meeting so far. I had been standing right in front of the door so my hands were freezing, and when he shook my hand he grabbed it with both hands and oh my your hands are so cold you should go and run them under hot water. It was so nice and I told him good luck and that I thought he was so great. He said thank you but the whole time he was holding my hand trying to warm it up. That just shows what a sweet guy he is. My friend Joe who was with us met him as well and he said in his ear to Clark that he thought that he really got screwed on the debate and Clark chuckled and leaned back and said ya I know. I felt bad but he is still keeping a positive attitude and I know he can win.

Hello!!! Today was pretty cool we got to go and meet Dante Scala who wrote the New Hampshire book that were studying. He was very nice and presented a nice lecture. Back at the campaign as soon as we got there we were told that Wes was doing a last minute rally and so they took us over there right away. He had some speakers speak about him and they were so passionate about clark It made me get all teary. Again we got to meet Clark as well which is always neat. After the event we all went back to the site where from 12 to 6 PHone banked to build his support at his last two rallys before the primary in Nashua. Ya but check this out the most recent poll says Kerry 31 Clark 20 and Dean 18 percent, and I think all Clark has to do is come in in second and we got the rest country no problem.

Hey guys sorry I did not post last night but I was super tired. Basically yesterday we visited a famous restaurant in which all the candidates in past elections and recent always visit. Campaign wise we went door to door which was extremely cool bc we got to talk to faces instead of just the phone. The most fun I had yeaterday was a Democrat meeting in which some of the known activists and party chairs were at it. It was for southern Democrats of NH and each campaign was represented. It was neat. Today was a fun experience. We woke up and went to the University of NH and talked with the main poll researcher named Andy Smith, he gave the whole class useful info and explained it very clearly. When we made to the campaign we immediatlt went into the phone banking and then prepared to head out to the debate at 3. We dressed extra warm since we were going to stay out there untill 8. This was the most incredible experience yet. All the campaigns had huge and and many signs. I felt so together with Clark, we all worked together to get the media and to do cheers. When Clark did arrive I was able to meet him again and shake his hand. We were also able to meet with his wife who actually remebered us as the girls from Florida pretty cool huh? Anyway the debate got kind of crazy with Kerry's firefighters so the Clark campaign headed out after Clark went inside. We actually went to a restaurant for a clark debate party called The Yard. I do not think that I was really satisfied with the debate. It seemed like they were trying to get Clark to fumble and catch him in a lie but he did handle himself well. Well I am so tired its midnight and I have to be up again in 5 and a half hours. Goodnight!

What a great day I had today. This is like the best class ever! First we all got tours of both of the state offices for Democrats and Republicans. We were also able to visit the State building and see where their senate and house meet. Next we went to clark office in Nashua and had a fabulous day. I started off phonebanking and had like a 20 minute conversation with this lady that was deciding btwn Clark and Kerry. I was finally able to convince her the Gephardt had dropped bc i didnt think that it clicked in her head and that Clark was the candidate that could beat Bush. We then got in a few debates about the issues and in the end I had the last word and convinced her. Afterwards we got a lead to where the press was going to be at a restaurant so we canvased with signs and had sign wars with the Kerry and Dean campaign. Unfourtanitly it was a flase lead but we still had a good time. Next was the best, we were able to go to a Clark rally where Clark would not only be speaking but be responding to the State of the Union address. It was so neat he came out and made a speech then we all watched the address on a big screen in a place called Palace theatre in Manch. Afterwards when we were leaving we met Mrs. Clark and took pics she was sweet. Overall the day was great and the more I learn about Clark and work for him the more I am convinced he is the best candidate. CLARK 04 and Bush NO MORE!
