Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Gilford, N.H. – Either the candidates for president need to start wearing glasses, or a certain snowman needs to get a better outfit.

“Is that a penguin back there?” Clinton asked at a town hall meeting Thursday, peering into the back of the lodge at Gunstock Mountain Resort. Voters quickly informed her she was looking at a snowman with a carrot nose and a hat.

The night before, Sen. John McCain saw the same snowman standing at the back of the auditorium at the Derryfield School.

“It looks like a chicken to me,” McCain said, before insisting that the snowman get a chance to ask a question.

For the record, the snowman is concerned about global warming.
