If not, the process of chosing the next president has kind of started.

Register to vote now so your voice can be heard in the primaries.

My name is Bill Ames, and I am running for the "I Should Rule the World Party" please write me in.

Other than that, I was surprised by Iowa last night.

Trying to go see as many candidates here in NH as I can. It\'s pretty interesting seeing as this whole thing is in a constant state of flux. It\'s a very close race on both sides. I feel lucky to be able to see all of these guys (I am including Hillary in the category of guys) in close settings, with the opportunity to ask them all questions etc. Well except for Hillary who is no longer taking questions because she\'s a beastly ****.

Saw Giuliani last night and Obama this AM in Nashua. O\'Reilly was there and got in a fight with one of Obama\'s staffers. Heh.

NH primary is on Tuesday. Big debate tonight.

She only takes rehearsed questions from pre-selected persons anyhow. F--ing **** (and her political machine).

I thought that was pretty standard across the board.

Nah all of the candidates I have seen in the past couple of days (except for Hillary and Obama) had Town Hall style meetings where anyone could ask them whatever. It was quite clearly not just people from their camps being called on, because I was able to ask a question, as were a couple people at all of the appearances who were not at all friendly.

One guy went charging to the front of the room screaming about how we were all baby killers and how Giuliani has blood on his hands etc. I then found a flier on my car window that tried to draw a parallel between voting for someone who is pro-choice and voting for someone who is pro-slavery. Right.

It\'s really cool that you\'re going to these events. It\'s nice to hear how the primary\'s really go. I find it amazing how little you learn from the news.

You\'re sort of like the .info roving NH primary reporter.

Ha, well, then I have really been slacking.

I must say am excited about being here right now. It\'s such a close race, and these small Town Meeting style events really give a much better picture of who the candidates are. They are pretty much going over the same questions they\'ve been asked a million times, but they are able to give longer, more in-depth answers. Television and radio just don\'t allow for that. Also, it\'s much easier to get a sense of their personality, or, in the case of some, their lack thereof. (Seriously, Mitt Romney is the Stepford candidate.)

I once got a flier on my car with a boat of "sinners" drowning in the "blood of killed babies" with some guy in a suite throwing the boat a life-tube labeled "jesus"

It was funny and distrubing at the same time, considering I had gone into the record store a few blocks down the street to buy an opera about saint franices...

Yeah, it must be cool to be able to go to primaries. Kinda makes me want to move to New Hampshire.

jocelyn · « **Reply #11 on:** January 07, 2008, 02:11:24 pm »

My bet for tomorrow is:

Dems:
Obama
Hillary
Edwards

GOP:
McCain
Romney

But who knows, it is really, really tough to say right now, especially for the Republicans.

It\'s funny to hear how everyone is all worked up about the fact that McCain has gotten the endorsement of the Globe and some other major papers up here. No ****, they\'re liberal papers, and McCain is really a liberal in conservative clothing.

Ha ha ha

"But he\'s a heeerroooo!"

I can\'t say much about old though, I\'m a Giuliani supporter. (Patiently awaits hissing and booing)
