The Turnout Game

It's 50 degrees outside right now and supposed to be 60 degrees by midday.

Frankly, I'm worried about flash flooding. Every parking lot here is rimmed with a snow bank taller than I am. The thaw today ought to be impressive.

The turnout ought to be equally impressive. There was excitement here already; adding what's esswentially shorts weather for New Hampshirites should make it pretty insane here today.

Turnout in Dixville Notch was 100 percent and a McCain camp e-mail comes in reporting the turnout in Hooksett, N.H. as "silly" it was so huge.
