Tonight will be the biggest night New Hampshire has seen since 2008. Granite State voters spent today casting their first-in-the-nation primary ballots. As the polls close tonight, the candidates, their supporters and throngs of reporters will gather at huge parties to watch the results trickle in.

But tomorrow morning, this place will seem like a ghost town. All the out-of-staters will shake off their hangovers, pack up their equipment, and disappear faster than Mitt Romney can fire someone.

Some New Hampshire residents will be thrilled to finally get their state back. Others will undoubtedly feel a bit deflated. What are they supposed to do now that all the excitement is over for another four years?

Don’t fear, Granite Staters! Remember, your beautiful state has plenty to offer, even between election years: There’s skiing and hiking in your majestic mountains, trips to your quaint seacoast, summer dips in your bottomless quarries. And best yet, you have a very special guest coming to town very, very soon!

At a campaign event this week, we spotted this flyer for R-rated hypnotist Frank Santos Junior, who will be performing at the same Rochester Opera House that hosted Mitt Romney just a few days prior:

So, thanks for hosting all of us carpetbaggers, New Hampshire. We do appreciate it. And we expect a full report from the Santos show.
