MANCHESTER,
N.H. — The scene at his New Hampshire campaign headquarters didn’t
let on that Rep. Dennis Kucinich only succeeded in attracting 1.4
percent of the vote in New Hampshire yesterday.
Dharma and Greg ’s
Mimi Kennedy and Tim Reynolds, a musician who often plays with the Dave
Matthews Band, showed up to support the Clevelander and party with a
few hundred very colorful characters.
The choir of the
Church of Stop Shopping, an anti-consumerist organization from New York
City, sang a few gospel-inspired songs, and their leader, the Rev. Billy,
dressed in a white linen suit, acted out the part of a liberal Ernest
Angley.
A married couple
calling themselves the Vibration Army stepped up to provide entertainment,
performing a rap song about Kucinich and his policies.

MANCHESTER, N.H. — John
Kerry easily won New Hampshire’s primary yesterday, overpowering Howard
Dean and other Democratic rivals for a second-straight victory to establish
the four-term senator as the party’s presidential front-runner.
“It’s an enormous
victory, a huge turnaround,” Kerry told The Associated Press. “We were
written off for months, and plugged on and showed people the determination
we have to defeat President Bush.”
Sen. John Edwards
of North Carolina and retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark were in a distant
race for third as early returns trickled in from across the Granite
State. Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut was fifth, his candidacy in
peril.

BELMONT, N.H. — At
the New Hampshire Democrats 100 Club Dinner in Nashua, N.H., on Sunday,
where all the candidates for the presidential nomination were invited
to speak, a few sharply dressed young men sat just outside the main
hall.
Joshua Madrigal and
Tyler Bain came from Westminster College in Salt Lake City to work on
the campaigns of senators John Edwards and John Kerry, respectively.
They and three other
students were volunteering through the national organization, College
Democrats of America.
Scores of young people
have been flocking to New Hampshire to support their candidates of choice
this weekend — but these activists are in the minority among their peers.

LACONIA, N.H. — The
people who turn out for political events are often older, but part of
the crowd waiting to see Sen. Joe Lieberman in Laconia, N.H., yesterday
afternoon couldn’t even vote yet.
A few dozen students
from the sixth and eighth grades of the private, K-12 Sant Bani School
in Sanbornton, N.H., came prepared with questions for the Democratic
candidate and milled around the refreshment tables before Lieberman
showed up.

LACONIA, N.H. — The
Soda Shoppe in Laconia, N.H., has seen more than its share of Democratic
candidates recently.
Sen. Joe Lieberman
visited the diner last week, Sen. John Edwards stopped by for the second
time Saturday, and Rep. Dennis Kucinich popped in yesterday as locals
looked on over their pancakes and maple syrup.
Laconia is a typical
New England town of about 16,000 people. Right down the street from
the Soda Shoppe are the empty Colonial Theater and Bloom’s Variety.
