Walking my legs off!

So today instead of being in the office and making recruitment calls, the campaign ever so graceiously decided that we all needed to be out knocking on doors. I was not excited about this, as when I was here in January, and was walking door to door, I busted my knee. Ever since I've thought of coming back to New Hampshire, my knee has been aching, and causing me a lot of trouble. Well, I knocked on over 300 doors, and my legs and knees are in pain, but not to the point where they'll kill me if I take another step. The only nice part about being out and walking was the absolutely beautiful view of a large lake here in the Stratham area. I should have taken pictures, but I didn't have the time to. Hopefully I will be able to take some fun photos of the staff I work with here in Stratham, and the beautiful view. Oh, that made my whole day worth it! :)

McCain/Palin in 08!

So it was with great anticipation Thursday night that I went to sleep, with an okay feeling about Pawlenty becoming our new Vice President. As I still had many miles to go, I left my brothers house at 5:30am, and hit the road for New Hampshire. I reached the New York area at about 7:30am, when I hit New York traffic, and my brother called me and told me that Romney was out, and that some woman would become McCain's VP. I was very upset, and I started yelling and honking my horn at annoying cars, more than usual. My brother suggested that I start listening to Talk Radio, to find out more about some woman named Palin. So I turned on the radio, and there was Glen Beck picking apart Obama's speech, when he suddenly stopped and made an announcement that Romney and Pawlenty were out, but some woman named Palin was in. I continued listening as the reports continued to come in, and all the TV and Radio stations were giving Confirmation that Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska was to be McCain's VP pick. I woke up my friend Adam and he started doing research on Palin, and gave me all that he could find. After learning about her for a while, I was feeling better about this, but I was still unsure that McCain would pick a woman. I called the McCain HQ that I was headed to in New Hampshire at 11am, and they told me that they had just received a call from the campaign, confirming Sarah Palin as the VP pick.

I pulled into the Stratham Victory office just after McCain announced Palin as his VP, and then I got to go into the office and listen to Palin. I am incredibly impressed. Palin may not have a lot of experience, but she has 2 years of Executive Experience. She is the mother of 5 children, and she can relate to the majority of the people in the country. I am excited to see what she can do. And if this woman can debate, well, sorry Biden, you will lose!

Please join me in congratulating Senator McCain on a monumental pick, and the best pick for a Vice Presidential Candidate, Sarah Palin! I'm so excited to work for this race! The response here in New Hampshire has been amazing. People are really excited, and we've had nothing but positive optimism for this ticket. Support the McCain/Palin ticket today! :)

The New Republican Shirt! Get yours today!

So three days ago I had a new neice that was born. Her name is Samantha Stamps. She is 7 lbs. 14oz., and is just the tiniest thing in the world. Oh how cute she is. :) (Can you tell I'm a proud Aunt?) So tonight, my good friend Russ called me and told me that I had to take a look at the coolest photo. I love it, and I'm thinking of getting one for my new neice. (Thank Heaven both of her parents are McCain fans!) ;) Enjoy!

Watch What You Say

Back at the end of February, when Mitt Romney dropped out of the Presidential Race, making John McCain the Republican party nominee, I went throught the 6 stages of grief, including: saddness, anger, denial, resentment, and finally acceptance. At this time, I believe it was during the resentment or saddness stage, I said that I would support McCain once he became the party's nominee, and that would be in September. Well, remember how people tell you to watch what you say? Well, that was reminded to me this past week, as I accepted a position to work as a Field Staff member of the John McCain Campaign in New Hampshire.

I won't be able to always update this website, but I do look forward to keeping you all up to date of the fun events that will be happening in New Hampshire. Can you believe that after the people of New Hampshire have met each of these candidates at least four or five times, that it is a battleground state? I sure couldn't. I haven't met McCain once, and I only got a picture with Mitt Romney, and that was before he left an event. (Thanks Adam!)

Well, I hope you enjoy this blog. Feel free to leave comments, I would love to hear your opinions. I plan to come back to Virginia in 2 months with a President of the United States. I accept your wishes of luck and your prayers! Thanks! :)
