Well Roger, all 20,000 Libertarians have arrived here in NH! They cornered me in the grocery store this morning, "Small government is groovy, man!" "Yeah, man, guns and pot for everyone." "And no more of those pesky environmental regulations to contend with."

And then things really got interesting. Al Sharpton and General Clark were in the store pressing the flesh and partaking of the free samples(Al was in the bakery section and Wes in the frozen food aisle). When they head the Libertarian rhetoric, Sharpton got down on his hands and knees behind the one with the "Let's Make NH Libertarian" tee-shirt, and the General pushed him over, right into a cereal box display. And out of nowhere sprang John Kerry, he gave a Moe Howard two fingers into the eyes gouge, flooring the other guy. There were high-fives all around as the three candidates congratulated each other. This spontaneous display of Democratic unity brought a lump to my throat. Finally, Howard Dean arrived, scolding his fellow Dems for not allowing him to get a few punches in. Turns out he was in the organic foods aisle, sampling the tofu and praising Vermont's own Ben & Jerrys for being such good corporate citizens.

The above account is not the exception here in NH, very 4 years things get crazy here.
