..that with all the visitors, pols, and press (with their expense accounts) running around up here that more ladies didn't camping out in the Manch/Concord area this week?

Or are there???

Hotel rooms impossible to get? or are they a notoriously cheap crowd?

You are most likely correct on all counts! (that and the secret service is probably around for at least some of the candidates - the ones that have requested it).

With all the news media, law enforcement, etc. swarming around... our lady friends probably figure it's a good place to avoid.
