Report from New Hampshire


Cady Short-Thompson of Wyoming is in New Hampshire, as part of a once-every-four-years academic project.
She'll be filing reports on her trip. Some highlights from her first dispatch:

Of all of the headquarter visits thus far, our most favorable impressions were of Senator Obama’s campaign office in Manchester. Well populated by over a hundred volunteers and staffers all busily working on campaign communication activities, the energy in the large, packed office was palpable. We noted that there was an energetic and youthful buzz about the whole office, with signs and walls painted with motivational appeals (Believe, Hope, Change, etc) and campaign slogans, nearing the level of a social movement. Moreover, of six campaign offices we visited, Obama’s was the only headquarters with a fully formulated, specific, detailed travel schedule in place for the next several days...


The single campaign event near Manchester on January 2, 2008 was a rally for Rudy Giuliani at the American Legion in Hooksett. With most candidates campaigning frenetically in a last push in Iowa, New Hampshire was quiet this evening. Being the beginning of the last week before the New Hampshire primary and on the eve of the Iowa caucus, we found New Hampshire voters ready and eager for the big show to begin. On this single digit frigid evening, nearly 200 people crammed into the American Legion hall to hear Giuliani. Perhaps interestingly to Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky residents, the norm at the events in New Hampshire is for the voters to be numerically matched by or outnumbered by the media, in some cases dramatically so. With most of the media masses still in Iowa or in transit to New Hampshire, there were twice as many voters as media personnel, a circumstance that will be radically changed by tomorrow.

Typical Enquirer reporting.

What does "from Wyoming" mean? Is she a teacher? Where? how many times has she been there? What does she know about politics?

To answer your question regarding "From Wyoming", Cady Short-Thompson lives in this area. Furthermore, Cady is a professor at NKU and recently named professor of the year. And finally, Cady has served as a field observer for some time in the political arena.

I have just one question for you...what is your point? Do you have an ax to grind with someone who follows a passion? Maybe you need to find your own outside of blogging nonsense.

The point is: I have been in politics for fifteen years and have NEVER heard of her and would like to know why her analysis matters.

But you've explained it: A professor who has no street experience.

she's an Obama plant, no doubt- did Kearney buy her plane ticket?
what's with the huge glamour shot pic of her?

funny, your blog asked for people to contact Ms. Rulon if they were going to early primary states for their candidates, I sent her an e-mail because I was going to Iowa, which she deleted without reading

ah what did I expect, journalistic integrity? the small town papers in Iowa were quantum leaps above this rag when it came to covering politics
