HOOKSETT — The sky is Windex blue, the breeze Charmin soft, the air apple-crisp warm. Anytime the temperature in late November is in the mid 30s up here, it's regarded as a "bluebird day" — and a gift from the weather gods. Yet a Republican presidential candidate is shivering in a driveway while chatting with New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, and moments later, microphone in hand inside the Oscar Barn wedding venue for a campaign event, she speaks of "this unbelievable cold."
Sununu, who once ran a ski area in the state, had some wise counsel for Nikki Haley, a former governor of toasty South Carolina. "This," he tells her, "is not cold."
