The political epicenter has shifted from Iowa to New Hampshire, right next door. The state is erupting in general chaos as the politicians who are still in the race are fighting for attention.
Every reporter, pundit, talking head, and his or her brother is in town. Eventually, New Hampshire might regret rolling out the red carpet for some of them. Bill O'Reilly just had a massive hissy fit at Nashua North High and attempted to bully an Obama staffer.
jhutson at BlueMassGroup was there for the whole O'Reilly Ruckus. He took pictures of O'Reilly at the high school, "sucking lemons" and oozing assholery while everyone was having what appeared to be a nice time.
Meanwhile, Governor Deval Patrick went on a New Hampshire road trip Saturday to stump for his buddy Obama, and a bunch of volunteers had to leave a Best Western in Nashua because of a fire.
The Globe has posted a massive list of events. We were particularly impressed with one John Edwards event in Berlin with "Cooter" from the Dukes of Hazzard, whose real name is Ben Jones and who happens to be a former US Rep. (So you know, the Edwards and "Cooter" will be at Hillside Elementary School, 183 Hillside Ave., Berlin, NH, 3:00 pm.)
Thank goodness for "Cooter" because we were starting to burn out on Chuck Norris, who is traveling everywhere with Huckabee and will need to be surgically removed from Norris' side when this is all over.
Oh, and besides all the preening and parties, there is an election going on, and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are in a "dead heat."
