Romney Tours NH

Republican candidate, Mitt Romney, began a bus tour starting Tuesday night/Wednesday morning in western New Hampshire. It's really the first time I've seen Romney working 'the New Hampshire way' of being close to the voters and putting himself out there. I've been on the late shift this week but figured waking up and navigating icy roads with fellow staffer and a reporter was worth it. On each of these events I challenge myself to look beyond what is given to the media as a photo op and try to get something telling of the candidates or the event. A lot of times it means when everyone is going in the front door through the campaign staff, you find a back door through a kitchen where a chef is getting ready for the day. It means being nice to everyone. And it means thinking on your own and taking risks that break the rules, but not having a sense of entitlement and knowing your boundaries.
