Etiquette during the New Hampshire Primaries

Dear Ask a Nanny,
I am a New Hampshire lady. I have a question. Mind you, I know how most people do things but I am not "most" people. The candidates are up here padding around this way and that trying to talk us into voting for them. I can't go to a pancake supper at my Church without having to see one or another of them. I've already met Hillary Clinton 17 times. And she never remembers me. Neither does Joe Biden, but he's got real nice teeth.

My question is this, would it be impolite to use a germ killer, like Purell, before I shake hands?
Sincerely,
Minnie Franklin

Dear Ms. Franklin,
You are wise to use an antibacterial agent prior to meeting the candidates. May I suggest a mask as well, unless these are local candidates. This will protect you from most, but not all, potential viral agents that these people bring into the beautiful Granite State.
Sincerely,
Ask a Nanny

Dear Ask a Nanny,
I followed the standoff at Senator Clinton's Headquarters over there in New Hampshire. It's typical of that state anywho. Here in Vermont that would never have happened. We drink less and we don't have mental illness here. Now, my question, what would you have done if you'd been Senator Clinton?
Thanks a bunch,

Dear Ms. Mansfred:
I can see that you have state pride. How charming! In my most extreme projective scenarios and even with a healthy imagination, I cannot nor do I wish to think of being Senator Clinton. My svelt figure, my avoidance of Botox, and my penchant for dresses make this an impossibility. So sorry I can't be more helpful.
Sincerely,
Ask A Nanny
