Annie and the Netroots

I decided to go to Concord last night. It's not a decision one would normally make at 9pm on a "School Night", but i'm glad I did. Last night was a big night for Blue Hampshire, Orange-to-Blue, and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and it was good to be at the epicenter of it all.

If you have not seen it already check out the 9:25 mark in Annie's Victory Speech when she uses Dean's Uniquely Unifying Candidate series by name to pivot into the next 7 weeks of campaigning. (See 1, 2, 3 4 in case you missed them.)

Annie was kind enough to record this short interview a thank you to all the support she got online (audio is a bit tough in a couple of places... it was a noisy room!)

Many Hampsters were in attendance. It was nice to see Bash regular and occasional diarist Paul Hodes there to support the candidate who will be running to keep his hard earned NH-02 seat a Democratic Seat. Jon Bresler, William Tuck, JDBlanch, Burt, and Jack were also in attendance (did I miss anyone?)

It was nice to see the staff of the hardest working campaign in show business together and enjoying the moment. The strategy, planning, and execution I've witness as a local volunteer for the campaign was really impressive, on par if not ahead of Presidential Primary efforts I have been a part of.

Only 7 weeks to the General Election. I'm Fired Up and Ready To Go, are you?

I just heard Dante (on NHPR's Exchange) call this campaign the best field organizing he's ever seen!  That's sayin' somthing!

Congrats to all, especially the voters of CD2.

Not that it would matter. Charlie Bass is one of the GOPer good 'ol boys. A DC insider, for sure! Pete will throw him a bone.

Charlie has already started with stoopid... (4.00 / 1)
a couple weeks ago, looking out my front window at my Kuster lawn sign, it occurred to me that there was a possibility for sophomoric humor, but I said "Naah, nobody is that much of an idiot." but one can never underestimate Charlie's capacity for stoopid.

It's time to show Charlie what a "Last Stand" really looks like.

Great win for Kuster, (0.00 / 0)
but not to throw water on the party, the enthusiasm gap showed up in the numbers.  We got work to do.

Looking forward to seeing some # (4.00 / 3)
and hoping that Tuck will work some  of his magic with them as well. Looking forward to seeing them compared to 2006.

Republicans had strongly contested Governor, Senate, and a House race in both Districts. Most of these races were multi candidate as well.

Democrats had 1 competitive race in one district. Not sure I would read too much in to comparing R turnout vs. D.

Thinking about it another way... in NH-02 there were 5 campaigns working to get turn out the Dem vote and 16 campaigns trying to get the R vote out. A 3:1 advantage.

There were also competitive State Senate Races on the R side that boosted turnout as well.



Hope > Fear
