Then voila, the interwebs provide me with plenty of support to prove I'm not just making things up. Two cases in point:
- Further evidence that New Hampshire Republicans are not to be confused with Bible Belt Repubs. Turns out that NH is the least god-fearing state in the union. Drop dead last. Add this to my growing list of things for which NH is either #1 or #50. And furthering the argument that we just cannot be mediocre; we always have to be best or worst, FIRST or dead last! (For the record, you will also see at this link that NH is #1 in alcohol sales, which may or may not be related to our godlessness. Personally, I think it has more to do with our state run liquor outlet stores on the borders with MA and ME.)
- Then, folks in Iowa make the same point I made a few days ago, about feeling entitled to some face time with potential candidates. Being first may be a privelige, but it's also a huge responsibility. Granite Staters and Iowans do not take this task lightly. Sarah Palin, beware!
