WHAT ARE NH VOTERS SAYING?

"I like the way she's focusing on green energy. We all have to start focusing. She gave us a lot of things we can do as individuals and as a country. When I went to see them [John Edwards and Barack Obama], it was like a pep rally. Here, it was like she was giving us a reason to vote for her."

-Sarah S. Holder, Peterborough (Keene Sentinel, 11/8/2007)

"Daughter Holly Reville, another ‘undecided' who was invited to sit at the table by her mom, first said she was on the fence, but seemed ready to topple into the Clinton camp. ‘I want to see a woman in the White House,' she said, backing Clinton's stance on universal health care, while worrying her three daughters could be drafted into a war. "I work three jobs,' she said. ‘I make too much money to get government health care, I don't make enough to buy it.'"

-Rachel O'Brien, 23, Nashua (Fosters Daily Democrat, 11/2/07)

"I'm here today because I volunteer at the Rochester office. I do a lot I canvass, I make phone calls, I've written letters to the editors, blogs and I just felt like I needed to be here today. And one great thing that I love about Hillary is how she is not forgetting the middle class, she's not forgetting those without insurance and those who are kind of falling beneath the cracks."
-Katie McCauley, UNH student, Durham (NH for Hillary Grassroots video interview)

The past three decades she has been working for families and the middle class and I really could use the help, so that is why I am out here."
-David Schultz, Durham (NH for Hillary Grassroots video interview)
