...Hampshire this weekend, on a Straight Talk Express tour designed with prickly and proud Granite Staters in mind. On Friday, Chuck Douglas, a former New Hampshire Attorney General, personally delivered, on behalf of the campaign, a strongly worded demand that the state investigate a series of scurrilous push polls that have been targeted at Romney's Mormonism.
