CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL WHEN THE CANDIDATE IS ON FIRE:

Standing room only for McCain (Walter Shapiro, 1/05/08, Salon)

This was supposed to be a post about John McCain's 100th New Hampshire town hall meeting of the campaign cycle, in Peterborough this afternoon, gauging the kind of crowd he got and the atmosphere in the room where he spoke.

The only problem was, he got a crowd big enough that the fire marshal turned significant numbers of people -- including me -- away at the door.
