It's Wednesday night, the North Grafton Republican Committee is meeting, in the downstairs of the Gold House, Littleton's best pizza place. Gary Lambert, running for the US House of Representatives, has stopped in to speak to us, do a little campaigning. Gary is an old New Hampshire political hand, served in the NH senate, served in the Marines for 35 years, a nice guy.
About this time a young brunette, with a heavy camera bag slips into the room. I've never seen her before. But Mike Gilman and Gary do know her, address her as Morgan. She is a democratic party tracker, assigned to follow Gary Lambert and film any gaffe's he might make. Morgan is working with or for Annie Kuster's campaign. We ask her to leave, which she does.
Discussion turns on how Morgan found us. Apparently Gary had posted something to his facebook page from his smart phone that evening, and Morgan turned up about an hour after the post.
Wow. Pretty big time stuff. Gary Lambert isn't even the Republican candidate yet, he has yet to win the primary. That the democrats have the money, or the dedicated people with time on their hands, to track a fairly low level guy like Gary Lambert, suggests a lot of outside money is coming into the state. It's also probably a waste of resources by the Democrats. Annie Kuster has done little to nothing in office and is probably toast in November.
