The biggest newsmaker in New Hampshire politics right now isn’t any elected official or candidate. It’s a guy in a chicken suit.

Last week, New Hampshire’s only network news affiliate, WMUR, showed up in Loudon, N.H., to cover Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announcing millions of dollars in new grants for farmers, which could help some New Hampshire businesses.

Shaheen, who is locked in a tight race with Republican Scott Brown, surely hoped the photo-op with Vilsack would be a newsmaking event to help her re-election campaign.
