A satirical look at New Hampshire politics. Ken Lector, the state Democratic chair, promises Joe Tanner that he will see to it that Joe is appointed Attorney General if Joe finds a Democratic candidate for a vacant State Senate seat in a Republican District, helps elect that candidate, and sees to it that the new Democratic state senator votes against a bill that proposes to install wind turbines on iconic Mt. Washington. That dissenting vote is necessary to defeat the bill. Joe's task is more easily said than done because it's a heavily Republican district and the State Senate job pays only $100 per year, so no Democrat wants to run for it. No one, that is, but an outtastatah from West Virginia named Charlie Beezer. Ann Katz, Joe's girlfriend from New York, detests Beezer, who she considers to be a clod and a bumpkin. It turns out Ann is right; Beezer is a clod and a bumpkin, but he's not as dumb as he appears. Joe has no choice but to run Beezer as the Democratic candidate. And there the pandemonium begins with Beezer confounding, confusing, dumbfounding, startling and astounding all those who deal with him. Will Beezer win the Senate seat? Will he vote against the turbine bill? Will wind turbines despoil the majesty and grandeur of Mt. Washington? Will Joe Tanner become Attorney General? Will Ann Katz's distaste for Charlie Beezer ruin her romance with Joe? As they say, stay tuned.
