Door-to-door went really well. It seems Conway is a little more open to campaigners than people in Manchester or Concord - probably because they don't get hit as hard most of the year. Ran into one 80-year-old ex-military who supported Giuliani - and made fun of us since we weren't fighting in Iraq ourselves. Don't worry about wars, he said, the military can handle it. Well, obviously that wasn't the issue (never mind the fact that Ron Paul gets more monetary support from active military and ex military than any other candidate), but unfortunately he was in more of a fuming, pissed off mood, rather than a conversational one, so we extracted ourselves from the situation and continued on our way.
Lots of positive responses from undecided voters, and we left Constitutions and the new DVDs that we've been shipped, and we gave up around 4 PM for the day: that's earlier than we'd like to stop, but going door-to-door asking for political support is very mentally and emotionally draining. It was best to stop before we were all pissed off and worn out.
The ABC/Facebook Debates were fantastic - that is, Ron Paul actually got a chance to speak on a national stage, and he took full advantage of the opportunity. He hit a couple of home runs answering questions about Barack Obama, oil prices and the War, directing his answers towards economic reasoning for the most part. We had a number of points to cheer about here in the Moultonborough house, and it was very satisfying to see our candidate finally get a fair chance to speak at one of these debates.
Now we get to see what Ron Paul plans for tomorrow - he's purchased one hour of airtime tomorrow at the same time as the Fox News Forums from which he was excluded.
Run Paul Run.
