I am in New Hampshire. (Iowa would have been nice, but I am self-funded, and the logistics of Iowa are cost-prohibitive)

I will be in the pool today with John McCain. This weekend, I hope to be with all the candidates.

Last night I got in late, and decided to catch the end of John McCain’s townhall in Laconia. The snow was awful, and the snow had not been plowed yet. But the Laconia VFW was packed. The parking lot was full. The parking lot of the shopping mall next door was full. Unfortunately, something went wrong with the video I shot. The local Laconia paper covered it. McCain focused almost exclusively on foreign policy.

Incidentally, the only ads I have seen on TV are from Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Ron Paul, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney. Romney’s are all negative all the time. Rudy’s are solid, but non of the earned media seems consistent with the message. And Paul is talking about stopping foreign students, which is dumb and delusional.

i heard the paul ad today – unbelievable. i wonder if harvard could still afford to raise/lower the tuition bar for us middle class types if those “foreign students” from places he believes are terrorist states stopped paying in cash…
