Dean Arrives in New Hampshire!Pretty soon, Joan Jett will be singing Patsy Cline's 'Crazy' as the campaign theme song. I love that whole inflatable bat thing. These are some very crazy folks. Personally, I wish he'd issue real baseball bats. It would be much more festive.It was something else to see the stunned look on the staff and press as they entered the hangar to be greeted by a sea of people waving inflatable bats-- and another thing altogether to hear the roar of appreciation when the Governor finally entered and took the stage.
The feeling was euphoric. Off to one side a sign read "Welcome Home, Howard!" And the crowd chanted and stomped, interupting the Governor with shouts and inflatable-bat applause:
"It sure is good to be back in New Hampshire!"(Roar of approval.)
"We went to Iowa as the frontrunner, it's true. But New Hampshire has a tradition of electing the underdog. And eight days from today, you're going to do just that."(The blue signs go up and the bats go crazy.)
