...planned a similar excursion for Nov. 2, according to Vice President Colin J. Motley ’10. As the Radisson Hotel prepared to host Saturday night’s Jefferson-Jackson Dinner—a “who’s who” of New Hampshire Democrats??Harvard students supporting Clinton joined a crowd of campaigners lining the street. Trying to outdo the Obama supporters down the block, the students wielded “totems”—lawn signs skewered on two-by-fours—and the colossal cardboard political signs...

On a trip to the State Capitol, I met Representative John Harkins, who fumed over Democrats?? attempt to offer instate college tuition to illegal immigrants; but not to their legal counterparts. At a brunch in Waterbury, I heard Congressman Murphy’s challenger, State Senator David Cappiello, slam a Democratic State Senator’s naive remark that the only reason businesses were leaving Connecticut was because they wanted to make money. In my native Manchester, I helped...
