Coming on the heels of a new Iowa poll released Thursday night showing John Edwards increasing his lead over Sen. Clinton to 5 points, he generated large crowds in New Hampshire over the last three days.
My favorite moment at yesterday's event in Canterbury, which drew over 325 supporters and interested voters, was when a self identified Obama tracker Josh(?)Hyman said he was 'depressed' by the size of the crowd.I asked who he was when he entered wearing a huge backpack, and he pleasantly identified himself. A very nice young man. This trip, starting with over 400 folks showing up at a house party in Nashua Saturday, and big crowds for Elizabeth Friday and Saturday morning, showed a renewed interest in the populist message of John Edwards.
Amazingly there was no coverage from the Monitor's Chelsea Conaboy, no pictures. There was coverage from Holly Ramer of the AP, and a bit in today's UL.
The common theme for the campaign workers was that more people were showing up to hear Sen. Edwards at every stop, more than were expected.
At the Anderson's in Canterbury 200 seat were set up on the lawn, in the quintessential
New England setting, in the center of Canterbury acroos from the Church. The seats were filled long before the event started and folks were standing under tress, looking for shade. |
