Shibley and Miller were part of a gay and lesbian group who flew up to help out the campaign. They spotted Villiard's gay pride flag outside of his home-based salon. Staffer Stephen O'Keefe pores over newspaper articles on Gore and other candidates, ignoring the late afternoon bustle around him. Kristin Johnson and other volunteers and campaign staff wave banners in front of the Gore Campaign Office in Manchester while awaiting the arrival of Gore's daughter, Karinna Gore, who visited the office on Saturday. The brutally cold weather limited the time the staff could campaign outside.
Paper cuts abound.
Fingers as cold as car door handles sport bright red fingertips, like dots of mercury that refuse to rise. But in Al Gore's Manchester headquarters on this frigid Saturday, none of these battered hands are less than baby soft - unless they're fast enough to escape Pat Morris and her pump of hand lotion. And even those with enough political clout to flee to the closed-off suite of offices upstairs will have a hard time eluding her. When a burly envelope stuffer pauses to scratch an itch, Morris thrusts soda and chips at his idle hand. When former state Democratic Party chairman Chris Spirou pauses for some political banter with a reporter, Morris corners him with a question.
