As I said here, one of the staples of the campaign trail for any candidate is doing house events – talking to small groups of people and getting the message out. This is quintessential NH retail politics; some there for a first meeting and a few there for the Nth time in their attempt to get the real measure of the candidate. Candidates truly hope for success – while a single mis-speak won’t necessarily toast a campaign, word of mouth can make or break an entire campaign if the overall impression is less than spectacular.
Ovide Lamontagne held one of these events at the home of Warren Groen of Rochester, NH (who is running for re-election for the NH House of Representatives) where there was a good assemblage of folk.
This clip is the Q & A session at the event.
