Kucinich out of New Hampshire debates

Just got off the phone with a worker from the Dennis Kucinich campaign, and I was told that the Kucinich Campaign was removed from the docket for the WMUR Debates in Manchester at St. Anselm this weekend.

The Kucinich campaign was told they did not meet the standards for support that WMUR had set.

Elizabeth Kucinich Outlines Goals of a Kucinich Administration.

The Kucinich Campaign for President calls the war in Iraq an abomination on the record on the history of the United States. Elizabeth Kucinich, the wife of presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich spoke to Students at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge New Hampshire this week.

“Obviously the war in Iraq, an abomination on record on the history of this country, we have to get out of Iraq, and get out as soon as we can,” said Mrs. Kucinich. "This doesn’t have to be when dennis is elected, this can be before that…but really if it is still going on this is something we would be committed too.”

Dennis Kucinich of Ohio has been a strong opposition to the war in Iraq, his wife spoke on his behalf, outlining three of her husbands goals; Universal healthcare, immediate withdrawal from Iraq and as part of Kucinich's stance on Trade they would withdraw the Unite States from the World Trade Organization.

Dennis and Elizabeth returned to the Granite State this week to take part in Wednesday nights Democratic Debates at Dartmouth College, in Hanover.

A personal interview with Elizabeth Kucinich will be available on the Pierce Arrow Website.

Candidates stand on issues

The post debate buzz is being felt across America, here’s our take…

With the debate cut into two parts, one being the podium format with questions coming from Wolf Blitzer, and the other being town hall style with the candidates being seated, taking questions from NH voters. The majority of the questions from the audience were about the issue that seems to be at the forefront of this election, Iraq. A few of the candidates were given the opportunity to explain their plans and views on the war. Hillary, Obama, and Edwards all seemed to have a tight grasp on the air time and other candidates who had interesting views and ideas were not heard as much as the top tier candidates.

Joe Biden (who, prior to today, was at 1% in the polls) stood out amongst current members of Congress running for president in regards to the Iraq Funding Bill. Biden claimed while the troops are on the ground in Iraq he will never vote to cut their funding. Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio disagreed, saying, "In order to end the war the funding must stop, we have enough in the pipeline to pack up close down the bases and bring our brave troops home." Former Senator and 2004 Vice Presidential nominee John Edwards, repeated a campaign theme of his by apologizing for his vote to authorize the war saying he was, "Wrong and lied to by President Bush." Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich both laughed in response to that statement, it seemed they both could not understand how someone could have been fooled by President Bush.

We are now one debate closer to the primary elections, and after tonight things are going to begin to heat up. There may be a clash of ideas as to how it should be done, but it’s obvious that all the candidates in the democratic field want to get out of Iraq and any candidate not named "Edwards, Hillary, and Obama" would like a little bit more air time!

Front Row Ticket to the Candidates


Standing Ovation, continuous clapping by political activists, supporters, family of the candidates and many more is the sign of respect that Democratic Candidates for highest office in our nation received. Frank Blais and I were in the Sullivan Arena when the candidates entered the arena to a standing ovation. Right against the stage with photographers from the Union Leader, South Africa, Reuters, Associated Press and other news outlets.

In order came the big three, Edwards, Clinton, and Obama.

Snapping photos with a film camera, and digital camera, we were rushed in and rushed out, as we captured history. In attendance, political activist Dorris "Granny D" Haddock who was seated in the same row that was reserved for candidate Gravel's supporters, Elizabeth Kucinich the wife of Democratic Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich, and New Hampshire Governor John Lynch.

Guests from Franklin Pierce that Frank and I could see -Franklin Pierce Alum Julianna Spence, and Franklin Pierce staff member Bill Beardslee.

Candidates Are In Good Spirits!


Martell: Hey Senator!

Sen. Edwards: Hey Guys! You want a picture?

Jackman: Yes we do! Are you excited about tonight?

Sen. Edwards: Oh yes! I'm very excited!

Eric and I were fortunate enough to run into John Edwards as he was getting into his van right after an interview with Wolf Blitzer. The Senator was very friendly and seemed to be excited about tonight's debate.

After leaving Senator Edwards, we made our way into Dennis Kucinich's green room. There, we were able to grab an interview with Kucinich's Director of Field Services, David Bright. "Dennis is in very good spirits, and is back in his room prepping and briefing for tonight," Bright told us, "The Cavs won last night...we win tonight." I asked Bright if he was at all put off by the fact that Kucinich is still at 2% in the polls. Chuckling he replied, "If the primary was held today...we'd lose. But when it's held, we're gonna win."

The buzz on this campus is almost indescribable. Hundreds of cameras, lights, reporters, and Secret Service agents! The general consensus is that New Hampshire's primary process, once thought to be on its way out, is just as alive as ever. We were fortunate enough to run into the Boston Globe's James Pindell, and he put it very nicely:

"A year ago people were writing off New Hampshire. They thought it wouldn't matter...this weekend proves that New Hampshire is still alive. Yesterday we had the Democratic Convention and today we have the democratic debates. On Monday and Tuesday we have two huge Republican dinners right before the Republican debates on Tuesday night. New Hampshire is clearly the center of the political universe again...a year ago people didn't think this was going to happen."
