Dear Union Leader: You’re a newspaper. Like the Des Moines Register, no matter how much the Obama campaign pays, you know this crosses a line.
So Newt had to cancel an appearance today … because some apparent Ron Paul supporters (who may have been Occupy sympathizers) swarmed the entrance of his New Hampshire campaign HQ. Here’s a pic of them in action, via Capital Tonight.
