This story shows one way campaigns plan too use out-of-state volunteers.
The story is from PolitickerME:
"Six people gathered in an empty classroom at the University of Southern Maine Thursday night over brownies and ginger ale.
After meeting briefly to talk about the script, they separated into corners of the room and started making phone calls. Today they were inviting people to a women’s summit for Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, and were also compiling a list of women willing to go publically on the record as supporting Clinton.
This was the hub of Clinton’s supporters in Portland. Except none of the numbers they dialed started in 207. They were calling women in New Hampshire."

Graham: "Demographics Will Determine Your Future"
“I’m from the federal government and I’m here to help,” Senator Lindsey Graham began his speech at a college political convention.
The South Carolina Senator spent most of his speech discussing Social Security and the Iraq war.
Graham told the audience “If people in my business do not solve this problem sooner or later, it falls on your head.”
“The realities of demographics are boring has heck, but it will determine your future. You need to be looking for a presidential candidate that can step up to the plate and tell America, ‘change is coming,” Graham said.
Graham went on to argue that the Iraq surge is working.
“The surge is working. The 30,000 additional combat forces allowed us to overwhelm the enemy who found safe haven in Anbar Province. We went in with a massive military force and we destroyed or captured most of their forces in Anbar,” Graham said.
Not all of the attendants were convinced Graham successfully persuaded the attendees.
Irene Jacqz, a high school junior from Newburyport, Massachusetts said she found Graham’s answers to be “pretty polarizing and short term.”
Her classmate, Michelle Bradbury agreed saying, “he answered the questions directly but there answers I don’t agree with.”

Biden Passionate About Vets
Speaking at New England College’s College Convention, Joe Biden spent most of his time discussing Iraq and the Middle East.
“Iraq is like a big bulder stuck in the middle of the road. Until we move it America cannot regain credibility in the world,” Biden said.
Biden added that America will be unable to deal with domestic, and other international issues, until Iraq is deal with.
“Iraq is sucking all the oxygen out of the room,” Biden told the group of 120 students.
The Delaware Senator was most passionate when discussing benefits for Iraqi benefits.
“You think I’m upset, it’s because I am,” Biden admitted.
The three-day convention is comprised of college and high students from throughout the country.
Cassie Alsfeld, student body president of LSU, said she came to the conference to hear the candidates’ position on the recovery effort.
After speaking with Biden, she said “I was interested in what he was going to do with the recovery process. He seems to be a advocate of Louisiana.”
However, she added “I can’t decide until I get answers from my questions.”

Rudys Gains NH State Police Endorsement
From The Giuliani Campaign:
The Rudy Giuliani Presidential Committee today announced that the New Hampshire Troopers Association has endorsed Mayor Giuliani for President. Representing the non-commissioned men and women of the New Hampshire State Police, the group is committed to ensuring the best possible working conditions for State Troopers – and has not previously endorsed a presidential candidate.
“Rudy Giuliani’s commitment to public safety and providing law enforcement with the resources they need to successfully and safely fight crime is unparalleled,” said Louis Copponi, President of the New Hampshire Troopers Association. “Mayor Giuliani has the strongest record in the field when it comes to backing police officers. For this reason, and because we know he will be a tireless advocate for law enforcement as President, the group has made a decision to endorse Rudy for President.”
“New Hampshire’s State Troopers risk their lives each day protecting Granite State residents, demonstrating the highest level of bravery. It is a true honor to have the support of the New Hampshire Troopers Association,” said Mayor Giuliani.

Bissell Finds Stanley and Eisenberg
Yesterday, The HuffPosts' Bryan Bissell tracked down information on Troy Stanley and Leeland Eisenberg.
Bissell writes, "Whereas the original purpose of my trip was to bear witness to the growing media circus revolving the hostage situation, my new assignment was to find background on Mr. Stanley."
He concludes "I can only imagine that is how it felt a lot of the time for the two men who were involved, one wrongfully and the other correctly, in today's hostage fiasco in Rochester."

McQuaid in 2006: "Can The Nation Afford A President McCain?"
In 2000, Joe McQuaid, publisher of The Union Leader, called John McCain "The most liberal guy on the Republican side."
Then in a September 2006 article, McQuaid said, “in the midst of the most difficult and challenging war we have ever faced, can the nation afford a President McCain?" He went on to add “New Hampshire citizens must question why they should support him [McCain] for President.”
In the past, McQuaid has also heaped praise on the Arizona Senator. In July 2007, McQuaid said, "Meanwhile, Sen. McCain's campaign has had a rough time of it of late. But anyone who knows his story knows there is no quit in this man. New Hampshire is honored to have him here."

DNC Grants New Hampshire Waiver
From The New Hampshire Democratic Party:
The Rules and ByLaws sub-committee of the full Democratic National Committee voted this morning to support New Hampshire's "first-in-the-nation" status. With a vote of 28-2, the committee granted New Hampshire a waiver to hold its primary on January 8th, 2008, the date recently set by Secretary of State Bill Gardner. Though there was talk of sanctioning New Hampshire, this vote signified that the committee stands in solidarity with the Granite State. New Hampshire will travel to Denver, Colorado in the summer of 2008 with all 30 of its voting delegates and 4 alternates.
Michigan's request for a waiver was denied by a vote of 28-2 despite testimony from MI Chair Mark Brewer and DNC Member Debbie Dingle.

Clinton Holds Manchester Meeting
After she appeared at a Portsmouth press conference, Hillary Clinton talked with staffers at her Manchester headquarters.
Driving in a caravan of two black suburbans, a Manchester police vehicle and a state trooper, Clinton arrived at the office at 11:00pm.
Clinton left the office at 11:20.
The participants, my estimate puts it around 50, appeared to be a mixture of staffers and volunteers.
Besides myself, WMUR, a NBC embed and a CNN embed were there.

Clinton To Hold Portsmouth Press Avail
In response to the Rochester incident, Senator Clinton will hold a press availability tonight at 10:15 p.m. at the Sheraton Harborside Portsmouth Hotel in Portsmouth, NH.
The Clinton campaign has released the following statement:
“I am very grateful that this difficult day has ended so well. All of my campaign staff and volunteers are safe. I want to thank them for their extraordinary courage and coolness under some very difficult pressures and dangerous situations. I also want to thank all of law enforcement. We were in touch from the moment this began with local, county, state, federal law enforcement. I am so grateful to them for their response which brought this hostage situation to such a good ending.
“I also want to thank Governor Lynch who was extremely helpful in marshalling the resources of the state and working with the local law enforcement officials to make sure that all resources were available. The FBI and the Secret Service lent their expertise and help as well. I was in touch during the day with the families of those who were held hostage and I really commend their extraordinary courage under, again, very difficult circumstances. This has been a very hard day for all of us in our campaign.
“But even beyond that, every four years extraordinary young people come to places like New Hampshire because they want to change our country. They believe in our future. They work around the clock. They are so committed to their cause and I just want to commend every one of them from every campaign who really makes what is a sacrifice and a commitment. A lot of them postpone school, leave their families, move across the country and I’m so grateful for them every single day and I’m especially just relieved to have this situation end so peacefully without anyone being injured.
“We don’t have very many facts beyond, what we garnered during the day. I am on my way to New Hampshire now to thank the law enforcement officials, to see my staff – particularly those who not only were physically held hostage, but all those who supported this effort during the day to make sure we got information, that we kept families apprised, that we closely coordinated with law enforcement. And I could just not be prouder at the people who are in my campaign. And I want to thank them and I am so grateful that this day has ended well.”

Rasmussen: McCain, Rudy, Huckabee In Three-Way Tie For Second
From Rasmussen:
In New Hampshire’s Republican Presidential Primary, the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney with 34% support and a nineteen-point lead. Making the most of his home field advantage, Romney has steadily increased his lead from fifteen points earlier in November, nine-points in October and three-points in September.
The new primary election poll shows a virtual three-way tie for second place between former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Arizona Senator John McCain at 15% and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee at 14%. For Giuliani and McCain, those figures are a very slight dip from earlier in the month while Huckabee has gained four more percentage points.

Clinton Wants Obama To Pull Health Care Ad
Today, the Clinton campaign asked that Barack Obama pulls a New Hampshire campaign ad. According to the Clinton campaign, the ad is misleading because Obama claims his health care plan would cover all Americans. The Clinton camp argues that Obama's plan would leave out some Americans. The ad in question been running for over a month.
Obama spokesman Reid Cherlin responded, "The Clinton campaign didn't say a word when this ad was released a month ago, and the only thing that's changed since then is the poll numbers. The truth is, Barack Obama's universal plan will provide coverage to every single American who can't afford it and do more to cut the cost of health care than any other plan in this race. Rather than spending their time attacking Barack Obama, the Clinton campaign should explain how exactly they plan to force every American to buy health insurance even if they can't afford it."

Medical Marijuana Group To Offer GOP Candidates $10,000
From The Medical Marijuana Policy Project:
On Monday, Dec. 3, the Marijuana Policy Project and two New Hampshire patients will challenge presidential candidates Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney to back up their statements regarding medical marijuana with scientific evidence. The challenge will be announced at a Manchester press conference featuring a mobile billboard with images of the three candidates bearing Pinocchio noses. The exact time and location of the news conference will be announced Monday morning.
In response to questions asked by medical marijuana patients and supporters, Giuliani, McCain and Romney have all claimed that medical marijuana is either not needed or "too dangerous" for medical use. The MPP Medical Marijuana PAC will offer the maximum $10,000 contribution ($5,000 for the primary campaign, $5,000 for the general election) to any of the candidates who can prove that their claims are true.

Biden Discusses Iraq At Pease
From The Biden Campaign:
Today in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Sen. Joe Biden discussed the failure of President Bush's surge strategy to produce political reconciliation. Sen. Biden is the only candidate to have offered a political solution for the Iraqi civil war, so that we do not leave chaos behind. He also explained the connection between the Bush administration's rhetoric on Iran and the higher energy prices Americans are paying at the pump. Sen. Biden delivered his remarks at the Pease International Tradeport.
"Security in Iraq is better, though it remains an incredibly dangerous and violent place," said Sen. Biden. "That's great news and it is due in no small measure to the extraordinary skill and bravery of our troops. They will accomplish any mission we give them. Over and over again, they've done their job in Iraq."

NH Dems Having Trouble Finding Delegates
A bit of news that went unnoticed by many today was the bit in The Granite Status that the New Hampshire Democratic Party and their Presidential candidates are having a difficult time finding people to run for delegate.
“Speaking of delegates, the state Democratic Party says several presidential campaigns are having difficulty filling slates.” – John DiStaso
“John DiStaso reported in the Union Leader today that some candidates do not yet have enough people running for delegate. He is right! Being the curious cat, I just checked, and it is actually pretty shocking how few people are running for delegate - for all the candidates.” – Kathy Sullivan

Buckley To Request Delegate Waiver
From The New Hampshire Democratic Party:
The Rules and By-Laws Committee of the Democratic National Committee will meet Saturday morning in Vienna, Virginia to decide whether New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina and Michigan will be sanctioned for holding their primaries on dates out of compliance with the pre-approved calendar. The below letter from Chairman Buckley was sent to the Rules and By-Laws Committee asking for a waiver due to the recent decision of NH Secretary of State Bill Gardner to move the primary date.
If sanctioned, New Hampshire would automatically lose half of it's pledged delegates and all of it's unpledged delegates, bringing the total delegation down from 30 to 11. Any further sanctioning would be decided on Saturday at the committee meeting.
"I'm hopeful that the Democratic National Committee will hear my appeal for a waiver and choose a course supportive to our first-in-the-nation tradition," said Chairman Ray Buckley. "I hope it helps that I have known some of the committee members for a long time. I'm certainly not new on the scene and I will do my best to represent the importance to retail campaigning that New Hampshire remains first."

GOP Group Calls Romney "Just Another Massachusetts Flip-Flopper"
The Republican group, Log Cabin Republicans have launched a New Hampshire radio ad targeted at Mitt Romney.
In a press release the group's president, Patrick Sammon, said "“No one knows what Mitt Romney believes because he changes his positions so often—even more than John Kerry. Our Party deserves better than a flip-flopper with no principles.”
The ad begins "Mitt-Flops…sounds like something you'd wear to the beach, but they could cost you," and concludes with "Mitt Romney – just another Massachusetts flip-flopper."
The ad will begin running in the Manchester and Portsmouth-Dover-Rochester radio markets.
Radio Ad Script:
ANNOUNCER: Mitt-Flops…sounds like something you'd wear to the beach, but they could cost you.
Let's see.
Running for governor, Mitt Romney said he'd balance the budget without raising taxes.
So what'd he really do? He raised taxes on some New Hampshire residents who worked in Massachusetts, taxing their income and their pensions.
That's a Mitt-Flop.
Then Romney claimed he was just 'closing loopholes'. The truth: he raised taxes $128 million.
After that? $70 million more.
A year later? He tried to hike taxes another $170 million. That’s a triple Mitt-Flop.
Romney even refused to support the Bush tax cuts.
Now? He’s seen the light on tax cuts. Do you believe this conversion?
Massachusetts Mitt sounds like another flip-flopping politician…
JOHN KERRY:“I actually did vote for the 87 billion dollars, before I voted against it.”
ANNOUNCER: Mitt Romney – just another Massachusetts flip-flopper.
Paid for by Log Cabin Republicans who are responsible for the content of this ad. Learn more about Romney’s record at logcabin.org
UPDATE: Response from the Romney campaign: "This negative attack and gross distortion of the governor's record was launched and paid for by a group recognized as having Mayor Giuliani as their 'favorite' candidate. Governor Romney supports a federal marriage amendment and so it makes sense that a national gay rights group would attack him. Governor Romney has a stellar record of fiscal responsibility, having cut wasteful spending and worked to lower taxes as a chief executive focused on pro-growth economic policies. It's a record that even a negative attack ad can't change." -Kevin Madden, Romney for President campaign spokesman

Rudy's "Promise"
The Rudy Giuliani Presidential Committee announced the launch of a new television ad, entitled "Promise." The ad is airing in New Hampshire and Boston.
Script for "Promise":
MAYOR GIULIANI: "When I became Mayor of New York City things were out of control. I lowered taxes. I reduced the growth of government. Made government more accountable. And New York City boomed. I would do these things for America because I know they work. I know that reducing taxes produces more revenues. Democrats don't know that. They don't believe it. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, here's a promise I assure you they'll keep. They are making the promise to raise taxes. The only thing I can tell you in addition to that is they'll raise taxes even more than they promise. I'm Rudy Giuliani and I approve this message."

Edwards Video Asked For Weekend Volunteers
Tuesday we posted John Edwards' "37 days" video. The video was also posted on their New Hampshire campaign website.
Since we've posted it a number of websites have poked the Edwards camp, because there are more than 37 days until the New Hampshire primary.
An Edwards spokesman e-mailed us to clarify that the "The email that came with it asked for people to come in and volunteer for the weekend canvass and phone banks, which would be 37 days till the primary."

1,2,3,4...Lets Count The Days Until The Primary
Yesterday, we posted a John Edwards YouTube ad that said the New Hampshire primary was 37 days away. It appears an Edwards staffer got a bit too eager sending us the ad because the primary is actually 41 days away.
The ad begins, "37 million Americans live in poverty, 37 days until the New Hampshire primary, 37 reasons why poverty affects us all ..."
Two things:
1) We're surpised the staffer didn't look at their giant countdown...The Edwards office must have one.
2) We're more surprised we didn't receive a press release from opposing campaigns. One spokesperson called us, but so far no creative statement on the Edwards ad.
UPDATE: An Edwards spokesman writes, "The email that came with it asked for people to come in and volunteer for the weekend canvass and phone banks, which would be 37 days till the primary."

Hey Big Spender
We missed this but Dante "GraniteProf" Scala is reporting that
"Over the last nine months, the Romney campaign has spent $2.4 million on ads at WMUR ($2,401,360, to be exact).
That's about 75 percent of all Republican presidential ad buys on that station during this calendar year."
The GraniteProf also discovers that Democratic presidential candidates have spent $3,479,140 on campaign ads. While, the Republican presidential candidates total $3,178,770. These totals represent ads that air on WMUR.
Mitt "Big Spender" Romney? WMUR: The House That Romney Build? The nicknames are endless.

The GraniteProf also discovers that Democratic presidential candidates have spent $3,479,140 on campaign ads. While, the Republican presidential candidates total $3,178,770. These totals represent ads that air on WMUR.

"Primary Voices"
The Boston Globe and Boston.com have created an imaginative new channel forvoters to have their say about the current presidential race in a cutting-edge blog called "Primary Voices." The Globe's political team recruited more than 40 voters from three New Hampshire towns to blog about the Granite State's first-in-the-nation primary. The blog has been up for a couple of weeks, and already has dozens of contributions. Those participating are:
• Democrats from Henniker in southwestern New Hampshire, a typically Democratic town, according to voting patterns.
• Republicans from Kingston in the southeast, also emblematic of GOPvoters.
• Independents from Nashua, the southern city that is a gateway to NewHampshire.

Obama Lays Out Foreign Policy Plans
From The Obama Campaign:
As part of his ongoing commitment to open and transparent leadership, Senator Barack Obama hosted a foreign policy forum in Portsmouth today, along with top advisors, to share how he will restore America's leadership in the world. Obama and the panelists took questions from New Hampshire voters and discussed Obama's specific plans to end the war in Iraq, renew American diplomacy, pursue aggressive diplomacy with Iran, fight terrorism and extremism, reduce the threat of nuclear weapons, and invest in a 21st century military.
By continuing to be straightforward and open with the American people, Obama will unite the country behind a new foreign policy based on pragmatism, not ideology. You can learn more about Obama's new approach at: http://barackobama.com/foreignpolicy .
The following local and national foreign policy experts joined Senator Obama at the forum:
-Richard Danzig – Former Secretary of the Navy under President Clinton
-Ryan Gray (USMC Ret.) – Goffstown, NH resident; served two tours in Iraq with the Marine Corps
-Adm. John Hutson (USN Ret.) – Bow, NH resident; Dean of Franklin Pierce Law Center ; former U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General and nationally-known expert on detention and interrogation policy

Obama's PAC Gave Money To New Hampshire Politicos
Yesterday, The Washington Post reported that Barack Obama has been using his Hopefund PAC to disburse money to politicians and activist groups in early primary states.
After hearing reading the report, the Clinton campaign released a statement that said "On the campaign trail, Senator Obama is outspoken about his desire to reform the campaign finance system so it was surprising to learn that he has been using his PAC in a manner that appears to be inconsistent with the prevailing election laws."
Today, we complied a complete list of Granite State politicians and Democratic groups who have received money from Obama's PAC. Over the last reporting period, Obama gave New Hampshire supporters and others a total of $73, 000.
The Committee to Elect House Democrats and Friends of a Democratic Senate each received $15,000. Congressman Paul Hodes and Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter received $4,000. Hodes has endorsed Obama and is his New Hampshire campaign Co-Chair.
State Senators Janeway and Cilley also received a donation from Obama's PAC and endorsed the Illionis Senator. Cilley told The Washington Post ""There were no negotiations about financial remuneration. No quid pro quo. I endorsed him because I believe in him and his policies."
Among the list are several politicians who have endorsed Hillary Clinton. Senators D'Allesandro, Sgambati, Hassan and Estabrook all received $1,000 from Obama yet endorsed Clinton.
Total Disbursements To New Hampshire Politicians For Last Reporting Period:
Paul Hodes for Congress: $4,000.00

DNC Videotaping GOP Candidates
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is videotaping Republican presidential candidates.
This past Sunday, at a Mitt Romney event, we met a DNC staffer who admitted that their job is to videotape Republican candidates who visit New Hampshire. The staffer told us that they are based out of the New Hampshire Democratic Party headquarters, in Concord.
New Hampshire Democratic Party spokeswoman Pia Carouse said "It's just a part of the process."
The New Hampshire Republican Party had no official comment for this story.
Videotaping candidates is not unusual, in fact we've been told that the RNC videotapes Democratic candidates in the Granite State.
Another interesting tidbit is we've seen volunteers from presidential campaigns videotaping their rivals. Three weeks we spotted a Romney supporter videotaping Rudy Giuliani and The Concord Monitor reported two weeks ago that Obama volunteers were caught videotaping Hillary Clinton events.

1,000 New Hampshire Indie Voters To Vote for Obama
From The Obama Campaign:
More than 1000 undeclared New Hampshire voters announced their intention to vote for Senator Barack Obama in the Democratic primary today. Citing his straightforward, principled approach and track record of putting results ahead of partisan political maneuvering, the Granite State independents endorsed Obama as the candidate they believe in to bring real change to Washington.
"I'm tired of watching the Democrats and Republicans in Washington play political games while millions of Americans remain uninsured, the disastrous Iraq war goes on with no end in sight, and global warming goes unchecked," said Russ Ouellete, an undeclared voter from Bedford. "It's time for a President who will stop promising change and actually rise above the partisan gridlock to deliver on it. Obama is the one candidate in this race who can bring people together to put real results ahead of party politics."

McCain's New TV Ad: "Love America Enough"
From The McCain Campaign:
U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced a new television ad to run statewide in New Hampshire. The new ad highlights John McCain's record of standing up to corrupting special interests, leadership in working to eliminate wasteful and irresponsible earmark spending, and judgment to call for a new strategy in Iraq over four years ago. General election polling shows John McCain is the only candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton or any other Democratic nominee and his record of leadership on the critical issues differentiates him from the field. The thirty and sixty second versions of the ad are entitled "Love America Enough."
VIEW THE NEW ADS HERE: http://www.johnmccain.com/tvads/
Script for "Love America Enough" (:60-TV)
JOHN MCCAIN: "Since I've been in Washington, I've made a lot of people angry.
"I made defense contractors angry when I blew the whistle on a $30 billion dollar boondoggle and the culprits were sent to jail.
"I upset the special interests and Washington lobbyists when I passed campaign finance reform.
"I made the Pentagon angry when I criticized Rumsfeld's Iraq strategy, and I upset the media when I supported the strategy that's now succeeding.
"I angered the big spenders in Congress when I called for earmark and spending reform. No more $233 million dollar bridges to nowhere or $74 million for peanut storage in a defense spending bill.
"I didn't go to Washington to win the Mr. Congeniality award.
"I went to Washington to serve my country.
"I might not like the business as usual crowd in Washington. But I love America. I love her enough to make some people angry.
"I'm John McCain and I approve this message."

Hillary Welcomes You To New Hampshire
When crossing the New Hampshire border one would expect to see a sign greeting drivers to the Granite State.
Today, while crossing into the state along Route 10 Hillary Clinton is the first campaign with a sign in New Hampshire. The sign is in Winchester a mere three miles from the Bay State border.
The next campaign sign is a homemade Ron Paul sign in downtown Winchester.
Expect a lot more presidential lawn signs to pop-up along the Route 101/Route 10 areas.

Edwards Announces Plan To Combat Rising Fuel Costs
From The Edwards Campaign:
"Today, Senator John Edwards unveiled his proposals to take on big oil companies to fight rising home heating costs. At town hall meetings in Meredith and Rochester today, Edwards announced his plan to provide immediate relief for families facing unaffordable home heating costs and highlighted his proposals for taking on big oil and gas companies to halt global warming and build a new energy economy based on efficiency and renewable energy. As he prepares to visit New Horizons food bank in Manchester tomorrow, Edwards also emphasized the power that everyday Americans have to help families in their communities overcome the hardship of high home heating costs.
"New England families are facing skyrocketing home heating oil and gasoline prices – all to fuel massive profits for Big Oil," said Edwards. "As home heating oil prices are approaching a record-high, today families in New Hampshire are paying nearly three times as much as they did in 2000 for heating oil. Meanwhile, the top six oil companies have collected over $477 billion in profits over the past six years. Exxon Mobil, for example, earned $40 billion last year, the largest annual corporate profit in history."
Today, he called on President Bush, Congress, and state leaders to:
-Release Supply from National Oil Reserves
-Fully Fund the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program
-Weatherize Thousands of Homes
-Support Emergency Loans for Families
