"Lieberman Endorsement"
POSTED BY MEGHAN ON 12.17.07 10:22 PM
Today was spent out and about in freezing cold Concord. The morning started with Senator Joe Lieberman endorsing Dad, which was so great. As this race gets closer and closer, the energy and overall vibe just keeps intesifiying. It's like the last few weeks of camp where everything interesting always seems to happen in the last few days.

Here are some pics we wanted to share of Mom filing Dad's paperwork to get on the ballot in Arizona. Also, here's a link to a really cool New York Times article about my Grandmother and Great Aunt and all of their crazy travels. It's easy to see where I get my free-spirited attitude from!

Here are some the songs that I just can't live without and constantly play while on the road. I've been told that my music tastes range from random to eclectic but I like them so you can take a look and decide for yourself. Some of these artists are a little less well known: Max Raabe and The Palast Orchestra is a 1920's-esque German orchestra that remakes contemporary songs. How can you not love that?!? The Pierces are this totally amazing sister duo and I'm seriously obsessed with every song on their recent album, "Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge". Jingo is this band I discovered after buying the soundtrack to "The Last King of Scotland" and they have quickly become one of my favorite all-time artists. I've also included some of my favorite songs from classic artists like Led Zeppelin and The Smiths; like my life, wardrobe and approach to this campaign, I love to mix it up. Enjoy!

"Keeping Warm on the Trail"
POSTED BY HEATHER ON 12.09.07 1:47 PM
Yesterday we braved another cold and snowy day in New Hampshire. It always amazes me to see what people are willing to go through in order to hear John speak. The passion that the people of New Hampshire have for John, and for their responsibility in the voting process, is very impressive. It is obvious by the large crowds that every citizen makes an extreme effort to make their decision cautiously and mindfully, understanding that their vote will affect the nation. As many are critical about national voter turnout, New Hampshire serves as a great example that people care, people sacrifice, and that each person does make a difference.
A great crowd greeted Dad before his town hall at a middle school
