More Primary Scoop: License Plates, General Nuttiness

010708-hillary-clinton.jpg

HubTrotter has a great report from New Hampshire. He paid close attention to the license plates and spotted a trend: "Looking around at the cars parked at the Clinton rally, there were quite a few out-of-state plates. Probably no more than two-thirds (and I think it was closer to one-half) of cars had "Live Free or Die" on the plates. And as is the case at many rallies, there seemed to be two reporters and cameramen for every voter."

Second, the Ron Paul supporters are displaying their usual exuberance, although occasionally it borders on the irrational. HubTrotter said that Team Ron Paul tried to disrupt a shot that ABC's Charlie Gibson was working on. But, whatever it is they're doing, they're getting their candidate a lot of attention.

Wonkette, which has a running feud going with Team Ron Paul, writes, "No exaggeration, they are scaring the shit out of everyone in this state. The Dr. Paul could be running away with this election if it weren’t for the people who liked him." Too harsh?

At the bottom of the barrel, someone busted Mitt Romney campaigners stealing signs for John McCain and then swapping them with Romney signs. AOL's Political Machine has the video. If Romney wants to save himself, he needs to reprimand these schleps.

    Actually, I have a little editorial going up on that in a minute.



    Did it make you want to vote for her? I'd be interested in hearing why. (I disagree but am open to hearing the other side of it.)
