We had some server problems <$NoAd$>yesterday afternoon and last evening (in part due to especially heavy readership for the primary) that kept me occupied for much of yesterday and made it impossible to travel up to Keene for Dean’s townhall meeting. What I heard from reporters who were there, though, was that Dean seemed very much back on his game and had a very large, overflow crowd.
I wasn’t able to shake free of the server problem until less than an hour before Dean’s event. And since it was just a tad more than 60 miles away in some traffic I went instead to see Clark at a similar event in Derry.
Clark was pretty good. He’s gotten down doing a basic stump speech. But there’s a certain lack of intimacy in his presentation. Bluntly, in such large settings, he yells a lot of his speech. Through the event I wasn’t quite sure whether I was just too close to the speaker. But I think I had it right. There were also some true advance work follies, which I’ll touch on when I write it up later.
Now I’m off to see Dean at another Town Hall shindig in New Castle.
If all goes according to plan, I’ll be writing each of these events up (Kerry and Clark from yesterday, Dean today) later this afternoon.
