New Hampshire State Senate

As I mentioned last night in class, New Hampshire now has more women than men in the State Senate (13 women out of 24 men). This is the first in the country.

If you click on this link: New Hampshire Senate President Sylvia Larsen talks to host Jacki Lyden about the election. You can listen to a 3 minute interview on NPR about that.

The debate tonight

I encourage everyone to watch the debate tonight. If you would like to discuss it, just come to the class at 5:45, and we can discuss it as a group.

In the meantime, if you want to read more about each candidate's stance and voting record on particular issues, CNN has a pretty good page where you can do a side-by-side comparison: CNN Election Center 2008

More specifically to our class, the Kaiser Permanente site is one of the best out there about health issues. Click here for more information. You can choose specific issues like women's health, and global health care, and view each candidate's plan.
