Chuck Norris and Mike Huckabee hugging
Originally uploaded by marcn
Sunday afternoon Spencer, Trevor, Addy and I saw Chuck Norris and Mick Huckabee in Windham, NH at a chowderfest.
There were around 500 people there and it seemed a lot of them where there to see Chuck Norris. The crowd was polite, but not terribly enthusiastic.
Spencer was able to give the Governor his Stephen Colbert “WristStrong” bracelet — which you are required to do if you see someone more famous than yourself. We looked for it during the FOX Republican ‘debate’, but didn’t see him wear it. Bastard!

Rudy Giuliani
Originally uploaded by marcn
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
Originally uploaded by marcn
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.

Hillary
Originally uploaded by marcn
There was a Hillary Clinton event at the Nashua airport this morning. She hasn’t changed her speech very much and took a bunch of questions from the crowd.
Two reporters interviewed me mostly interested in knowing what I thought of the 3rd place finish in Iowa and if she should change her message.
All the photos are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcn/sets/72157603630786244/

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

A couple of Ron Paul supporters were outside holding signs
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.
(my paraphrasing)
