June 13, 2011--Early activity in the "candidate visibility area"...
Cynthia Bruneaux was first to arrive.  She drove about four hours from Bristol, RI and came well prepared with six two-sided signs.
Tom and Debbie Barry of Lisbon Falls, ME came to support Herman Cain.  They are active in the Maine Tea Party and like Cain because, "He's and executive, he's not a politician."  "He's a newpublican, not an oldpublican," said Tom Barry.
Rick Humboldt, Bill Domenico and Gail came to show their support for Ron Paul.

David Dalrymple of Salem (at left), Romney campaign field staffer Megan Stone, and others show their support for Mitt Romney.  Also helping out was field staffer Matt Maroney.
Claire Helfman of Hollis stated, "I support what Obama has done, considering the great obstacles he has been confronted with."
Trackers from American Bridge and the New Hampshire Democratic Party check out the scene.
Several hours later...
Protect Your Care activists hold one corner of the candidate visibility area while several Ron Paul supporters weigh in behind them.  All in all this was a relatively tame protest area.
