I’m going to start hitting the Republican events — they are much more exciting.

At this evening’s Rudy event at the Nashua Elks’ club there was a Pro-Life protester who started yelling at him — “A vote for Rudy is a vote for Dead Babies” and “You have blood on your hands”. The crowd was Pro-Choice and kind of murmured over the protester. Spencer and I ran into the dude (see the complete photoset for a picture of him) and asked who *he* was supporting — Huckabee.

At the car there was a strange Pro-Life flyer from a mythical Smith 2008 candidate who has a “Negro Problem”. It is copyrighted by Randall Terry. I’ll scan it in later.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr & Kerry Kennedy

This afternoon at the Nashua Public Library, Robert F. Kennedy Jr , Kerry Kennedy and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend were discussing why they are Hillary Clinton. At first it looked like it was going to be two other people and myself, but then twenty or so GMU students stopped in.

McCain was in Merrimack, NH today and I took a bunch of photos at the event.

The only remarkable moment was during Q&A a young woman asked “I have just one question. Why are you in favor of amnesty for illegals?”.

McCain: “I’m not.”

woman: “I’ve been informed that you are.”

McCain: “You have been poorly informed.”

He then did go on to talk to his position on immigration — securing the borders but also said that we should treat those here illegally well since we are all god’s children.

We attended the “Countdown to a New Beginning” campaign event for Hillary Clinton at Nashua’s Daniel Webster College yesterday.

Yup, the office building known as ZKO and where I’ve spent the last 20 years working for DEC/Compaq/HP is no longer going to be where I park my butt during the day. I’ll be heading down to Marlboro, MA a few days a week starting sometime in 2008.

Here is what the Nashua Telegraph has to say in their newsblog section: HP to close Nashua site. The news traveled fast — their entry is dated 5:24pm today, just hours after the official announcement to employees.

Update: Wednesday full coverage in the Nashua Telegraph: HP to close Nashua site

I wonder when the new owners will take down the VMS-inspired Non-Paged Pool sign.

Spencer obtained press credentials for the big Obama/Oprah rally in Manchester. He’ll write an article for the Merrimack High School newspaper, The Hawk.
