Note from the trail

Just time for a quick note.

I got to Nashua yesterday morning and immediately became the go-to guy: "Go to this address and pick up three interns." "Go here with a bunch of people and organize literature for get-out-the-the-vote canvassing," "Go here and pick up people who've been making signs."

There are people in the Obama campaign from all over the country: A woman from DC who works for the National Democratic Institute, a guy from Virginia, another who came all the way from Arizona for the week, and a young woman who lives in the lovely Diane's hometown of Portland, OR (although she goes to Boston University). The Nashua HQ was so packed that navigating across the room was a major effort. Spirits were high even before last night's triumph in Iowa.

OK, time to go and get bundled up: It's 7 in Boston, Lord knows how cold in Southern NH this morning, and we're going canvassing.

On the Trail

Last night was a good night. You folks in NH are likely to be on a high today.

I hope you find it rewarding and interesting. Bets and I are pulling for you.

Hope you hear The Voice Calling

Looking forward to reading your essay about the NH experience.

Poll numbers today are heartening on the Dem side.

Also, since I think getting Romney out of the race is a big priority, I'm happy to see the numbers for McCain.

Good job Jon. We folks sitting at our desks in Boston applaud you.
