A NH man took several people hostage in a Rochester, NH, office for the Hilary Clinton campaign. I was impressed by the fact that the Clinton campaign had an office in a town of 30,000 people. But, hey, it's New Hampshire. When it comes to Presidential elections we rate. Every baby worth kissing in this state has chapped cheeks come election day.
For a relatively small (by population) state, I know for a fact that we harbor quite a few unstable folks. So, it was no surprise that the AP said:
"A law enforcement official confirmed to The Associated Press earlier that the suspect's name was Leeland Eisenberg, and said Eisenberg was an older man known around the town to be mentally unstable."
After all, we were the same state that harbored the income tax rebels who held off the Feds for months hold up in their home.
Bet you thought only Montana harbored right wing militia-minded types. The only reason you don't hear about us as much is that we're loners. Militia-minded folks tend to be joiners, of a sort.
I'm quite grateful that election day is January 8th. After that, I can get some peace. The campaign folks from both parties call our house almost every night at this point.
It's grand to be relevant.

i heard on the news this morning they think this was a set up for publicity. :0
Nah. The guy was honestly a disturbed human being. I think Clinton handled the situation pretty well. She was supportive of her staff without grandstanding for attention. (Mind you, I'm not her biggest fan ... though she's still the most likely to get my vote in a month).
