Return to index of stories... 		Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
Today we're coming to you from NH"s Political Library in Concord
an appropriate setting to discuss the 2004 Vote in which
President Bush won re-election in a tight electoral college vote --
but, lost the NH Vote.
In the Governor's Race -- Democrat John Lynch unseated First term Incumbent
Craig Benson -- the first time that's happened in NH in 78 years.
Throughout the campaign season, the "Pundits" sounded-off --as they always do.
But, we thought it was important to give VOICE to average citizens, hear
what "They" had to say on the issues and candidates -- which is why we launched
our VOTER JOURNALS PROJECT.

Let's BEGIN with the GOVERNOR'S RACE
Q SARAH- - start us off. You were frustrated by the Governor's race, the NEGATIVE attacks.
You said it was difficult to make a decision. John LYNCH came out the Victor. What are your thoughts about that.
Q NANCY & TOM DONNELLY: Why do you think BENSON was DEFEATED?
Q MARK KELLEY: You voted for Benson last time around -- liked his business background. How do you feel about the OUTCOME?
Q JODI: You DISAPPROVED of BENSON'S policies -- What do you expect to change in a Lynch administration?
Q THOMAS DeROSA: A Student at St Anselm College --what happened to the STUDENT vote..
What does John Lynch represent to you?
==============
HEALTH CARE
Q What about Health Care and SB-110 -- so called insurance reform.
How BIG a role did that play in your support for a candidate?
MARK KELLEY: you're a small biz owner. You mentioned you changed health plan 3 times in last
5 years. Premiums have SOARED.
Do you EXPECT that to CHANGE -- with Lynch taking over?
THOMAS DEROSA: Your comments seemed to suggest that you support SB-110
and competition in the Health Care Business. You like the notion of
Health Savings Accounts
*Sarah -- NO Health Insurance.
*Tom: Run Health Care like a business.

======
EDUCATION Funding.
Q Is anyone confident that JOhn Lynch will be able to ELMINATE property tax and donor towns?
