Greetings from the Granite State
Road Report from Ted Chiodo:
With 26 days to go, greetings from New Hampshire, the Granite State.
The leaves are beginning to turn here and it is quite the sight. Today, I drove around the state with the ever interesting and very well named Theodore “Theo” Yedinsky capturing interviews with key leaders and strategists in the New Hampshire Democratic Party. We stopped by the imposing New Hampshire State House and snapped a couple shots.
Ted waves hi from the New Hampshire State Capitol
State Senator Maggie Hassan, New Hampshire political strategist Judy Reardon, and Democratic leader Sylvia B. Larsen all were kind enough to give us a small chunk of time out of their busy day. We talked about tomorrow’s important New Hampshire Jefferson Jackson Dinner (JJ in the political vernacular), policy issues affecting New Hampshire, and the potential for Democratic candidates in 2006.
These leaders are definitely worth listening to even if you aren’t a policy wonk. Each of them is wonderfully kind, witty and determined to keep NH blue in 06. The interview with Maggie Hassan is already posted and the other two will be available shortly for your viewing pleasure on the multimedia page. Take a look….
And, yes, it was a bit confusing to have two Theodores traveling together. Even my spell check thinks that having plural numbers of Theodore is impossible if not grammatically incorrect. That is why I use the shortened form, Ted, and Theo clearly uses Theo.
26 Days Left …Time to tighten your shoe laces and Get to it.
Mahalo.

Mahalo, Ted! Hope you have a great time at the Jefferson-Jackson dinner. We’ll be watching on C-SPAN!
Thanks, Ted.
I’ll be there!
Look for the table of wildly cheering JK supporters.
Of course, that will be all of them.

See ya later.
OSLO, Norway (AP)—Bangladeshi microcredit pioneer Muhammad Yunus and his Grameen Bank were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for their work in advancing economic and social opportunities for the poor, particularly women.
The economist and the bank he founded will share the prize. They were cited for their efforts to help “create economic and social development from below” in their home country by using innovative economic programs such as microcredit lending.
Grameen Bank has been instrumental in helping millions of poor Bangladeshis, many of them women, improve their standard of living by letting them borrow small sums to start businesses.
Loans go toward buying items such as cows to start a dairy, chickens for an egg business, or mobile phones to start businesses where villagers who have no access to phones pay a small fee to make calls.
“Every single individual on earth has both the potential and the right to live a decent life. Across cultures and civilizations, Yunus and Grameen Bank have shown that even the poorest of the poor can work to bring about their own development,” the Nobel Committee said in its citation.

Now THAT’S what I’m talkin about.
Thanks Ted.
Here is a report by the Concord Monitor about Kerry supporting Hodes (NH-1)
The linked interview is fantastic. It sounds like the Jefferson/Jackson event will really be fun.
Hey Theodore-
So great to see you actually working! Enjoy NH! I’ll be sure to say hello to the folks and sis as they are visiting STL this weekend. Keep up the good work, Ted.
Thanks for the update, Ted!
It’s always great to have the Senator in NH. We are senator-deprived in that we’ve got Gregg and Sununu.
The JJ dinner should be a great event and there will be a very enthusiastic table of Kerry supporters.
GV, this is going to be your first NH event isn’t it? It is going to ROCK!
See you in a few!
