Three Points

TODAY'S STRIP

FIRST OF ALL:
Average temperature in Manchester, New Hampshire in January: 21 degrees.

Average temperature in Des Moines, Iowa in January: 18 degrees.

SECOND:
Last week Carmen made a big deal about Winslow's Giuliani-like strategy of not going to Iowa prior to the caucus. (Even though he tried. Boy did he try.) And now she's surprised he's not traveling to New Hampshire?

THIRD:
As The Furnace has rightly pointed out in these pages, Stantis blew his Primary load last summer. He used up all his Primary ideas. He's done. He's sunk. He's just going to flounder and flip around until we know the nominees.

[Yawn.]

I like how Winslow went from having millions in campaign funds to nothing because he spent it on dancing llamas, and now magically he has enough for his own headquarters equipped with a big fancy sign.

I know it's just a comic, but if Stantis is going to make an issue out of things like how much money a candidate has, shouldn't he at least be consistent?

Who's Carmen supposed to be talking to in the first two panels if she's not aware that Winslow's still in Prickly City? Herself, or some unseen third character?

Wishful thinking?

(CJo, nice catch about the temperatures.)
