McCain hires snowplow to clear his way... PLOWGATE!

MILFORD, N.H. -- Presidential hopeful John McCain isn't letting snow get in the way of his Straight Talk Express in New Hampshire.

The Arizona senator has hired a snowplow to help make sure he gets to campaign events though snow, sleet and freezing rain on Saturday.

"We've got one leading the convoy of vehicles," said campaign spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker. "We are prepared for this New Hampshire weather."

McCain had events scheduled in Nashua and Milford in southern New Hampshire, before heading more than an hour and a half north to Lebanon and returning to the southern part of the state for a house party in Bow.

Could a regular, private citizen get a permit to hire a private snowplow to clear public roads for themselves?

Let's look into this PlowGate scandal!

I'm surprised he needed to hire one and no, you can't get a permit to privately plow a public street in NH. Of course, that huge bus of his might be a problem!
