Just got back from the Obama rally in Rochester NH....
And Ive got to say this... that man, in person, is absolutely mesmerizing. I have never seen any speaker have an effect on a crowd the way he did. People cheering, people crying, people absolutely overwhelmed. Outside people chatting about being filled with hope and pride. Incredible. Just incredible. In a word: wow.

We're off to see Edwards very shortly so I dont mean to post & run... but if I dont respond thats the reason why.

2. Yes. 99% NH license plates and a wide variety of ages.
Though the couple sitting next to me was from Maine, and we did see one Mass plate.

5. If you are registered to vote in the state where you live.
You are a REAL voter.
