Reply #21: Geez, it wasn't all tears [View All]

If it was all tears and sadness no one would ever show up the next time. I had a lot of fun as well. I had a blast going to see Fahrenheit 911. I never dreamed that so many people would show up at my local multiplex. They had to show it on two screens. Restored my faith in NH (I live in a border town on the Nashua line) and gave me the warm and fuzzies that NH might turn blue. That was great, as was the applause at the end of the film that lasted for awhile. Gave me hope then and still gives me hope.

I liked the people who came out to work on the campaign. I liked meeting the guy who had been with Kerry in '82 when he ran for Lieutenant Governor. (He drove Kerry around for some campaign appearances. Had some good stories.) He had stayed with him for the Senate race in '84. Then this volunteer got married, had some kids, couldn't find the time to volunteer, then came back this year. He had some great stories to tell. It was nice to hear those, very warm and funny and personal.

And, blush, blush, I like conversing with all of you. You are part of the 2004 campaign. Sharing the pain, sharing the hope and getting people through the agony and disappointment. Thanks, it's like an early Christmas present for the somewhat woebegone!
