Considering Manchester [population 108,000], Nashua [population 86,000], Concord [population 42,000] and Boston MA [population 600,000] are all within a one hour drive of Dover, it doesn’t seem like a real big draw to me.

Actually, NONE of the cities you list are within an hour. Boston is nearly two hours away. Manchester is closest but still over an hour. Nashua (if there's no traffic) is over an hour. Concord is 1 1/2 to 2 hours on a good day.

Dover is rather like Portsmouth in that it has a bunch of granola crunchers, but make no mistake, 3-4K showing up on a work day is a VERY good sign.

I especially liked this line from her speech:
Here in Dover, there's home to two kinds of people: the fine people of New Hampshire, and the fine people of Massachusetts who got sick of paying all those taxes.

Think that'll make it onto the evening news? Me neither.

Sarah is going to be in Salem, NH this evening. The venue is an outdoor stadeum that seats approx 20,000. People work during the day. As it was, there was a very good turn out in Dover. I was there and the gymnasium was filled to capacity and there was a good sized overflow crowd.
