Swing State
New Hampshire being a small, but maybe important, swing state in the upcoming election, Toby and I decided to help Obama by canvassing potential voters in the area.
We found out lots of things:


That most people have horses or chickens and, most certainly, dogs.


That, unlike Barrington, it takes about 6 hours to go to 40 houses because the driving distances between places is huge. 
 This little cabin was way up a mountainside and, of course, like most of our stops, no one was home.


That  there are some spectacular places around here,


And everyplace has a fabulous view (but none has a doorbell).
.

That some people, like Tom, will stubbornly vote for Romney even though he desperately needs health insurance.  He does make beautiful saddles.


That even the vet who lives here (where everything is black and white, including the cows) and knows how important health care is, isn't sure who to vote for.
We finished with these thoughts:
We don't know which way NH will go;
the people here are really nice; 
we need to cut for our view.

 

If only the Republicans and Democrats could get along as easily as these guys.

  1. you guys are great! and it looks like fun seeing everyone's houses! We've been trying to do the same here, we've been making sure all the students have their absentee ballots and can get them off in time through the mail. It's going to be so close.
