All about Kerry and Clark courting New Hampshire veterans, in particular, the Liberty House, which is a shelter for homeless veterans. Liberty House will be the beneficiary of Clark's infamous argyle sweater auction on eBay; Kerry has donated at least $20,000 to the shelter.
Oh, and an important end to the story - although Don Duhamel endorsed Clark in a letter to a NH paper (with the Clark campaign's help), and says he loves Clark, he's voting for Kerry. :-)

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Don Duhamel, a grizzled, 69-year-old Vietnam veteran, does not seem like a power broker in the presidential campaign. All he wants to do, he says, is get enough money to open Liberty House, which will house a dozen homeless veterans who promise not to touch alcohol.
Yet Duhamel has found himself at the center of an unlikely bidding war between Democratic presidential candidates John F. Kerry and Wesley K. Clark, both of whom are Vietnam veterans vying for the support of other vets. Kerry has sent Duhamel's Liberty House two checks totaling $20,000, and Clark might top that amount with the proceeds from the eBay auction of his newly famous argyle sweater, which last night had a top bid of $16,000.
