LOL! Nah...I think it was prolly more of an awareness of the peril that roosters portend for public officials in NH.
Exhibit A is Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio.
Whilst campaigning during the 1952 presidential primary, a voter handed him a chicken. The son of the most corpulent man to occupy the White House was NOT happy...judging by his vexed facial expression.
Taft would go on to lose to Ike.
The takeaway from this bit of Granite State history is: do not go afowl of this states voters, lest you show a big goose egg at the polls.
I'm locked and loaded with about a dozen other poultry puns but am exercising the utmost restraint.
