Bay State activists pour passions into New Hampshire

They are the volunteers, the activists, the true believers who see Tuesday’s presidential election as crucial to the fate of the nation. They are willing to knock on hundreds of doors or make thousands of calls, driven by the desire to help sway the vote in favor of their presidential candidate.

Trouble is, they reside in Massachusetts, where polls project an easy win for President Obama over Republican Mitt Romney. So dedicated followers of both presidential candidates are taking their talents to the places where the election will be decided; some are stumping in distant swing states, but many are volunteering just over the border in New Hampshire.

I'm so proud!

The Democrats need to be careful enlisting volunteers who speak with foreign accents while campaigning in New Hampshire.  It coud hurt more than help.  I don't think I need to say why.  (I'm a Democrat)

ford, I have been a NH registered voter for 6 years. I also have a home in MA. I think you need to say why because NH has changed. I am an Independent.

Dear Fordfalcon,

Don't worry my foreign accent did not hurt anything. What did you do as a Democrat? Did you volunteer for anything?
