After a long day's journey by train and minivan, we arrived safely in Concord, NH. There are 19 of us altogether.
We took a straw poll about candidate preference today -- here's where we currently stand:
There are 8 people on the trip who favor Republican candidates, 11 who plan to vote as for a Democrat. Top votes go to Guiliani, McCann, and Ron Paul on the Republican side. On the Democratic side, the favorites are Obama, Clinton and Edwards. We plan to do another poll at the end of this week to see how attitudes have changed (or not).
Tomorrow we head out to various headquarters and also hope to visit Bill Gardner, the Secretary of State who determines the NH primary date. Tomorrow night, we hope to see Romney and then Obama on Friday. Much more to come!
It's cold here - lots of snow on the ground and flying everywhere - the coldest weather some students have ever been in. Call us crazy, but it's all pretty exciting.
