Obama Rallies In Nashua

Josh Rogers, NHPR

The President rallied more than 8000 supporters at a Nashua middle school within a few miles of the  Massachusetts border. Mr. Obama made of point of attacking Mitt Romney’s record there.

"He pushed through a tax cut that overwhelmingly benefited 278 of the wealthiest families in the state and then he raised taxes and fees on middle class families to the tune of $750 million. Does that sound familiar to you?

The President then through a list of fees he said increased when Romney governed Massachusetts.  Fees on gasoline, milk, funerals, and birth certificates. Alluding to the conspiracies theories about his own birth, Mr. Obama joked that the birth certificate fee would have been expensive for him.

I cover campaigns, elections, and government for NHPR. Stories that attract me often explore New Hampshire’s highly participatory political culture. I am interested in how ideologies – doctrinal and applied – shape our politics. I like to learn how voters make their decisions and explore how candidates and campaigns work to persuade them.
