I did an interview with WUSF this morning. They were asking about the experience of the internship. It should air tomorrow at 9am and/or 4pm. That will be cool.
The excitement is building. Things are intense. Everyone is intent on working as hard as possible, to do as well as possible.
We are all exhausted from lack of sleep and working so hard for so many hours every day.
This evening while we were phone banking, you could just feel the energy. It was really amazing. As tired as we all are, I doubt anyone will sleep very well, we are all so excited.
I can't wait to see what will happen. All of this work has been for this. No matter what happens I'll be ready to work really hard in Florida to get as much support for Clark as possible.
Good luck to all of the campaigns. This is it.
GO CLARK!!!

Today was the coldest day so far. I got so cold doing visibility that I thought I had frost bite, started to cry... then stopped fast when my tears froze and I thought my eyelashes were going to break. We were doing visibility outside of the 100 Club dinner, which is a meeting for New Hampshire democrats that all candidates attend. I was so excited, not only did I shake Wesley's hand, but he looked at me and said that we all looked so cold, then he gave me a hug. But, the girl who had my camera didn't get the picture... she missed it by a second. Before the visibility I did phone banking all day. I keep losing my voice from just talking to much. I think it may also be from the dry air.
In general, I have been truly amazed at how young everyone working on the campaign is. Not only are most of the volunteers young, the staffers are too. It really has given me hope for my generation. Previously I was so dissapointed by the fact that people around me my age are completely uninvolved. Now I think I have realized that it is the people around me. Not the people. I am moving up north once I graduate. I love New Hampshire, maybe somewhere else. I have yet to figure that out. I think that Floriday may have a problem with a lack of passionate, intelligent and political people.
I have not been surprised by the way that the media are so bias on their coverage of the candidates. Today I saw a news program that covered Kerry, then Dean, then Edwards and then it was over. I couldn't believe the complete disregard for Clark. I suppose it could have been a mistake. But I know that the media have been recording him. I've been there, they are doing video and interviews and pictures, but they just aren't showing it.
Yesterday was a long day too. Much the same... work, work, work on the campaign. Then we got home early. I am getting more and more excited the closer we get to election day.

I had another wonderful day today. We started off at UNH and listened to the Director of the UNH Polls. He had alot of interesting things to say. He had theories on why certain candidates were doing well, and why others were not. Then we went to the campaigns for the day. Phone banking is very very very tedious. I think it's humerous when people hang up on us. Then we left for the debate and stood outside in the snow for a couple of hours. We were supporting our candidates. Everything was fine, until specific campaigns got there and then everything fell apart. I know that some people ( not on my campaign) were arrested and others were injured. Afterward we went to the debate watching party and watched it. It was rather uneventful. I think that all of the candidates were asked some pretty difficult questions. Tomorrow is a new day. Good Luck to all the campaigns. Go Clark!

What a wonderful day it was today. I am really excited and happy about working with Clark. I am working in the Nashua office. Today was great, we went to Concord to the New Hampshire Democrat and Republican Parties. That was interesting to be able to talk to the people there. I found that having the opportunity to speak with the people at the New Hampshire Democrat party was so helpful. Then we went to the Museum of New Hampshire History. Then we went to the campaign office. That was awesome. We started off with the usual volunteer activities. Then we got a tip of an event, and we all packed up and went to the site. Then we went to the State of the Union Address with Clark. That was so awesome. We got a picture with Gert. That was great too. I am so excited for the rest of the week. Go Clark!!!

This is my first post. I am checking that the system is set up properly.
I am excited for the trip to New Hampshire. I not only believe in much of What Clark believes in but believe that Clark is the only candidate who can beat Bush. We must nominate Clark.
