D’Allesandro says N.H. voters ‘know’ Biden
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterMANCHESTER--A Manchester state senator said that Joe Biden's trip to New Hampshire showed the campaign's commitment to the critical battleground state.
State Sen. Lou D'Allesandro (D-Manchester), who has been friends with Biden since the 1980s, said that Biden is a candidate that resonates in the Granite State.
"I think it's terrific he's here. He's a very astute politician and someone who knows New Hampshire voters and New Hampshire voters know him," D'Allesandro told PolitickerNH.com.
When asked to compare Biden's trip to the upcoming trip of Gov. Sarah Palin, D'Allesandro said that people would attend her events because "they're looking to see something different" and joked that "she's had more airtime on Saturday Night Live than anybody else."
D'Allesando also said that he thought Obama's campaign in New Hampshire is on its way to victory in November.
"Campaign is going very well," D'Allesando said. "It's very well staffed and very well disciplined."
He added, "It's a terrific opportunity for the Democrats to do well."

if NH voters are going to vote for someone they know, john mccain will win 95% to 5%
NH Voter says, "huh?"
Just because people have met McCain doesn't mean they are going to vote for him. I met McCain in 2000 - I'm not going to vote for him.

well if your argument is true, the state senators argument does matter...
Lou is NOT a Biden insider
Please stop spreading the myth that Lou is a longtime Biden supporter. Lou supported Michael Dukakis in 1988 and Hillary Clinton in 2008. Stop letting yourself get spun like a top, Brian.
Voters know little
Especially Biden voters. Here is proof.

Republican Scum
The politics of personal destruction utilized by the discredited Manchester Republicans are the Achilles heel of the NH GOP. As long as the Manchester Republicans continue to be a cancer on the party the entire state will turn its back on them.
