2. Three loud cheers for this courageous lady who has her head on straight

at 94. I just hope everyone in NH feels the same way. Gregg looked mighty peeved at her brilliance. God speed to this great lady. Three to one audience thinks she won the debate. This is a great story in the making. Idiot Gregg trotting out the old saw that they attacked us first on 9/11 and was handily doused with water making Gregg shrivel up like the wicked witch of the west. This video made my day. kr

8. I supported her then, too, lol.
I was wondering if she was strong enough to make it yet again. So I checked in to see what she's up to, and I see that she's not running for the Senate again. She's on a film tour to promote the documentary:

"Run Granny Run!"

9. Thank you so much for posting this antigop. I had the privilege of
walking with Doris for a few days during her cross-country trek for Campaign Finance Reform in 1999-2000 and was able to work on her campaign against Gregg during my vacation in 2004. I was also able to attend the hometown premier of this documentary in Keene, NH last month (October 2007). The theater was packed. She is a phenomenal woman and still going strong. Her current project is a clean elections bill in the New Hampshire legislature and when she is not on documentary promoting tours she is giving speeches all over New Hampshire.

I believe the entire documentary will be showing on HBO on November 6. If I am right, it is well worth watching.

Peace,

freefall
