It's a beautiful day here in New Hampshire. The sun is shining and the campaigns have taken to the streets. Here in Concord this morning the temperatures climbed into the mid-40s on the way to the 50s and the snow is melting faster than the polar ice caps.
The big question today: will New Hampshire, a state in which 164 town halls passed resolutions urging the candidates to address global warming, ratify the results of Iowa by choosing candidates who have plans to address America's energy future?
We will find out tonight.
As Granite Staters head to the polls, Time magazine lists its eight keys to the primary. In reporter Amy Sullivan's words, "...climate change [is] a key election issue. Everywhere they go throughout the state, candidates from both parties field questions about global warming from voters who are looking for more than just platitudes. They want to hear about cap-and-trade, carbon tax, hybrid cars, and woe to the candidate who tries to side-step the issue... That could result in some raised temperatures for Republicans who are still getting used to the idea that global warming might be real."
