Obama's Healthcare Forum in Portsmouth - William Anderson gets to ask a question
Most of the 1,800 to 2.500 (the number seems to vary depending on who you asked) who received tickets to be IN the Portsmouth High event (versus those of us on the outside) were Democrats - with no surprises there.
That said, it seems that the vast majority of the "ticket winners" were of the privileged class - heavy hitters either for Obama here in NH and surrounding states or the heavies in Democrat circles. There were some, however, that did win entrance by a lottery - and not surprising, VERY few were of the conservative persuasion (I heard rumors that ONE person walked in wearing a TEA Party T-Shirt??).
William Anderson - a Teamster and trucker now sidelined - was one such person. He also came over to the 'Grok popup - so, never trying to let an opportunity go by, he was willing to let us interview him:

Thanks, William!
