Finally the snow has stopped and we are able to move around in the vans without risking our lives. The trip so far has been a whirlwind of activity on the campaign road. I spent yesterday making hundreds of phone calls and talking with a well disciplined hard working group of volunteers . The best way to describe the Nashua McCain Campaign office is disciplined From our director Rob to our team leader Andy and all of the volunteers it has been like a well oiled machine . Six thousand phone calls by eight people in two days . I challenge anyone to match that volume of phone canvasing.
The response on the phones and in the neighborhood canvasing has been excellent McCain is a New Hampshire favorite . The senator has several town hall meetings scheduled this week I plan on working at one of those events and hopefully spend some time with the staff away from the campaign office .
Let me tell you a little about the staff , the Nashua office is made up of a cross section of people from throughout the country . The men that make up the Nashua campaign office range in age from 18 to 80 and come from every race creed and color which shows Senator McCain's widespread appeal among Americans . There seems to be a very patriotic conservative trend in the make up of the staff and all are well mannered gentlemen with sharp political minds and a passion for the candidate it has been a real pleasure to spend time with them and listen to their reasons for joining the campaign.
My last few days have been exhausting and a bit trying, but I actually feel invigorated and energized . The morning meetings are a great way to get together for the class and a great way to see everyone off to work. The time spent discussing politics with the other students is the Greatest part of this trip. I have never met such a intelligent well spoken group of people in my entire life I feel privileged to be with them on this trip, their passion and energy is rubbing off on my 45 year old carcass .
