were well behaved but tired. I have scratched notes on my palm pilot,
but translation to english and blogging it will have to wait until
tomorrow.
Highlights:
* very good, but non-Atkins, chili
* Mostly middle age, middle/upper middle class income crowd
* warmed up the crowd with a couple of jokes
* rude female heckler interruped a few times (education, taxes, why
did you Kerry & Sheehen do more when in office) who left early
* mostly well rounded stump speech, number of promises if elected,
executive orders, fair tax code, health care for all, military,
jobs, jobs, jobs, oil dependancy -> fund hydrogen
research/development, etc.
* NH Voters for me because only I can beat Bush, don't use your vote
to 'make a point'
* our 12 yr old had the last question "What makes you different from
all the other candidates?" (a surprise to my wife and I who didn't
prompt him)
* afterwards chatted up Kerry's literal coat holder about Bush's
immigration policy announcement (Kerry didn't mention it) and that
our particular issues were public education/special education and
civil liberties. He also dragged Kerry over for a picture with the
family.
On the way home Wendy and I talked about whether 'voting to make a
point' is the right thing to do to have someone beat Bush, so I guess
Kerry did his job.
For the brave, here are my notes directly from the palm pilot...
