But lots of voters in New Hampshire WILL hold it against him.

The message Fred is sending is that Hollywood is more important to him than the Nutmeg State.

Maybe he is using Rudi's playbook and wants to win only a handful of big states like California.

Actually, the Leno thing isn't the worst strategy. It is appalling how many Americans obtain their political opinions by watching to see which politicians Jay Leno is skewering, by watching Saturday Night Live and seeing which politicians are being mocked, and/or by watching The Daily Show or South Park on Comedy Central. There is no depth to their opinions, only a general impression created by these kinds of shows. Why do you think that candidates try to get on shows like Leno, Oprah, SNL, and the Daily Show? Sad state of affairs, really...
