HANOVER, New Hampshire (CNN) — Just outside the site of Wednesday night's Democratic presidential debate on Dartmouth University's "Big Green," two familiar faces came out to plug the global warming issue. George Washington, sporting a Revolutionary War costume and wig, and Frosty the Snowman, wearing a white body suit and carrot nose, held signs reading "Make Global Warming a Priority." "I was former President of the United States, and I'm here to call for some leadership on global warming. I showed a lot of leadership on the challenges of my time — the Revolutionary War for example. I think it's time the presidential candidates show leadership on the challenges of our time, which is global warming," Washington said. Pointing to the snowman, the Washington impersonator said, "He's the one I'm fighting for. I'm just trying to get some other people to talk about his rights as a snowman." Neither Frosty nor President Washington has endorsed a candidate. – CNN New Hampshire Producer Sareena Dalla Filed under: New Hampshire

Dartmouth's "mascot" is the "Big Green" and I know Dartmouth has the "Green" (an expansive lawn in the middle of campus) but I have no idea where Dartmouth "University's" "Big Green" located. Where was the debate held–the Hop or Webster Hall (or did they tear down Webster)? All joking aside, she should have done better research.
