I was down at the McCain NE Philly HQs today and met a British woman (in town for business) who was volunteering with us for a few hours. We got to talking so I asked her where she was from and her constituency. I got more than I expected.
It turns out this woman ran for Parliament a few times. I was able to find out that she currently resides in Litchfield but ran in Burton (I think that was the name of the constituency) in 2001 and somewhere else in 2005. She's a Tory and obviously lost both times. She mentioned that the Conservatives ought to take the two seats that she lost before in the upcoming elections. Her name is Maggie. I have no other information. I'm trying to find out a bit about her on my own but any help would be great.
She seemed really awesome. As I was leaving, I made a comment about how people seem to think that Obama will solve almost all of their problems. Her response: "Yes, I remember when they thought that way about someone else....JFK." That type of stuff is music to my ears.
