The Ooga Booga Days

“You’ve got to wonder what the cavemen said in the ooga booga days during the ice age when ice started to melt. I wonder if they said back then, ‘This global warming is terrible‘ ” –Barnstead resident quoted in the Concord Monitor
That’s one we haven’t heard yet! If only we could find a caveman to answer our questions about climate change…maybe Geico has ideas about how we can get in touch with one.
Back to the present day, Bill Richardson was in Iowa this weekend on his first visit since announcing his official candidacy. In an interview with the Associated Press he said “I believe the first four states, with Iowa and New Hampshire being the top ones, will determine who the President is. I always felt that way.” Richardson also told Iowans at a breakfast in Des Moines that he plans to “convince the voters I’m the best candidate. It’s called grassroots campaigning. You know, debates, issues and discussions.”
Is it hubris, or is it just good planning? Last week Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama promised to accept a fund-raising truce if each wins his party’s nomination. The pact would limit campaign spending to $85 million putting both candidates on equal ground. (Read the entire article from the New York Times here.)
Speaking of McCain, word is out that he will make his first appearance in the Granite State since a visit last year. McCain is expected to be at the Exeter Town Hall on March 17th. Maybe he got some campaign advice from Richardson: “grassroots campaigning…debates, issues and discussions.”
