New Hampshire, November 24, 2007 – OAN worked off our Thanksgiving meal on Saturday, following Republican presidential candidates Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney all over New Hampshire on the campaign trail.  The two shook hands, patted dogs and cooed over babies in Goffstown, Derry, Bow and Manchester, where Rudy received the endorsement of Mayor Frank Guinta during a news conference. 

It was not clear to us why, in the town of Goffstown, Romney stopped into a hardware store and bought some wiffle ball bats and balls.  Later that evening, he donated the toys at charity collection booth in Nashua.  “Gee, Rudy came empty-handed!” the attendant exclaimed when Romney handed over the bundle. Earlier during the day in Derry, some smart aleck tried to slap a “Hillary 2008” sticker on Romney’s lapel, and he brushed the offender away, but laughed at the audaciousness.

One of Romney’s sons accompanied him throughout the day, and his wife Ann and other family members joined him in the evening in Nashua, where the townsfolk were out in droves at the annual winter holiday stroll.

Giuliani’s wife, Judith, did not join him in New Hampshire, nor did his children.

We expect to be in Manchester again on December 9, when Oprah Winfrey campaigns with Barack Obama.
