We got to the office at 9:30 and went out canvassing. The group I was with had a great time. We got lost for about 20 minutes and eventually just decided to head back to the office and retrace our steps. The most interesting door that I knocked on was a Republican lady. I still don't know how she got on the canvass list. She was a registered Republican so Chadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18032970615615304258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299507.post-1075033906808754182004-01-25T04:24:00.000-08:002004-01-25T04:33:53.106-08:00I wish anybody reading this could have experienced what I did yesterday. It was the first full day of GOTV (get out the vote) weekend. We got to the Kerry office and could barely get inside the door. Scott Wolf and a couple of congressmen were giving speeches. The atmosphere was electric. I then went out canvassing with four high ranking members of Kerry's Washington staff, one was his economic Chadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18032970615615304258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299507.post-1074921995844417592004-01-23T21:16:00.000-08:002004-01-23T21:31:10.936-08:00Today was much better then yesterday. I spent most of the day in a town called Brookline, which is right next to the Mass border. It is an unbelievablely small town with a main street that consists of two gas stations. We did some lit drops and a small vis on a rotary that had little traffic. The rest of the day was spent hand writing postcards. It was quite an experience when I went to the back Chadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18032970615615304258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299507.post-1074796453092294712004-01-22T10:31:00.000-08:002004-01-22T10:36:15.450-08:00Today has been the worst day. I'm am pretty sick and unable to attend the debate tonight. I am going to try and get some sleep so I will feel better for this weekend. Go Kerry!

I have been very busy over the last day. I have spent most of the last two days doing lit drops all around Nashua and a town called Peterbourgh. I am the only person in our group that has not had to make any phone calls, but I know that will change. What stood out most about yesterday was a visibility event that we did on our street corner. It started with Chadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18032970615615304258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299507.post-1074574748231249012004-01-19T20:44:00.000-08:002004-01-19T21:01:54.606-08:00Today was the first day of the campaign and it was a crazy. I went into this thinking that I would talk on the phone most of the time and maybe stand outside, but this was not the case. I ended up going to a town that is 45 minutes west of here and standing at an intersection with about fifteen other Kerry supports. After about an hour we went to make literature drops on a couple of nearby Chadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18032970615615304258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299507.post-1074437956208359972004-01-18T06:56:00.000-08:002004-01-18T07:01:12.546-08:00It is 10:00 AM Sunday Morning and I am on my way down to Nashua to meet up with the rest of the class. There is a light snow falling right now. It looks a little different. Hopefully I will be able to find a computer in Nashua.

Right now I am visiting my cousin in Northern New Hampshire, so I have been away from much of the political action taking place a little further south. Besides the few campaign signs on the side of the road there is little evidence of the upcomming primary. I'm sure that will change over the next week, especially as I head further south.

It's OK though. This is the type of experience I have been waiting for. I am a senior majoring in Political Science and have spent much of time learning about aspects of government without really doing much to apply my knowledge.
