New Hampshire is showing the signs of our impending primary. People brave the sub-zero temperatures and stand on busy corners waving Dean For America signs emphatically, while other corners are quiet and unmanned except for a Kerry or Clark poster.
Until this morning, that is. Zeke and I were out running errands and when we got to town a little grassy island at an intersection was flooded with Lieberman posters: a dozen in a 20x20 foot space. "Wow," I thought, "there must be an enthusiastic local group." Seemed like every corner after that was jammed with the same poster side-by-side with little regard for placement.
A few minutes later a pickup truck blasted by with a bed full of Lieberman poster materials. A few flew out from a gust of wind, the truck pulled over, someone got out and readjusted the cargo, and they drove off without picking up the posters laying on the highway.
What surprised me was that the truck had New York license plates. Here I thought local supporters were doing some kind of campaign blitz and instead it's a truck from out of state. For all I know they aren't even supporters, just a rent-a-blitz team with a poster planting quota to meet.
BTW, The Command Post has candidate news, schedules, and even blog feeds. Looks like a great resource.
