Chuck Nips Phil's Hindquarters for Groundhog Notoriety

The lesser-known, and perhaps more feisty groundhog Charles G. Hogg (a.k.a. Staten Island Chuck) is making a play for publicity over his rival, Punxsutawney Phil again this year.  And Chuck is just one spot behind Phil on the Twitter Trends list at presstime (#4 Happy Groundhog Day, #5 Punxsutawney Phil, #6 Staten Island Chuck).  Perhaps it’s those thousands of underdog residents tweeting and retweeting like crazy, or perhaps it’s because Chuck is betting on an early spring.
