| The event started promptly at 5pm with a good crowd casually chatting amongst themselves and with Annie, as she made her way around. There were plenty of smiles, chuckles and picture taking.
Soon enough, Latha introduced Annie to a full room. Folks were literally peering in from several adjacent rooms. Annie introduced herself, covering her biography and what has motivated her to enter the race for the 2nd CD.
The time passed quickly, Annie opened the rest of the evening to a relaxed question and answer session. The group was very engaged, asking deep level questions.
The discussion covered:
- Global warming regulations centered on Cap and Trade policies.
- Recent efforts to reduce the financial burdens associated to higher education
(This period melded in with some talk of the economy as a whole)
- A discussion of several health care issues, including the public option, mental health care and elderly care.
During the entire round, there was a natural ebb and flow between Annie and Latha's guests. I found the discussion to be insightful with plenty of NH anecdotes that bridged the distance between the disembodied issues and the organic examples that come from everyday folks.
From what I can gather, Ann McLane Kuster is committed to working hard to win the support of the people from NH2. Please keep an eye peeled on this site and local bulletin boards. She plans on making the rounds to venues, great and small. I am confident that Annie will quickly make your short list and that she will, ultimately, earn your support and your vote.
Annie is "in it to win it." Please come and see what she has to offer. Stayed tuned!
