Beating a Path to New Hampshire

If you happen to be a New Hampshire voter, lock your doors ... the politicians are coming.  Candidates with an eye on the White House in 2008 are pouring into the state this fall to watch the foliage change and -- oh yeah -- make sure they meet as many voters in the first-in-the-nation primary state as possible.

Aiming to be your 2008 fix (pun intended), I've gathered a list of all the politicians making the trek up to the Granite State in October.  If your candidate (or the guy or gal you are backing at the moment) is making a pilgrimage to N.H. but isn't mentioned, shoot me an e-mail or leave a comment. 

Oct. 7: Former House speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) speaks at the New Hampshire State House in Concord at noon. The event is open to the public.

Oct. 11: Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) is in Manchester to host a town hall meeting at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College.  It starts at 7 p.m.

Oct. 15: The Stratham Republican Committee has a reception planned for Sen. George Allen (Va.) from 11 a.m. to noon at the home of Phil and Anne Caparso.

Oct. 29: Sen. Evan Bayh (Ind.) keynotes the New Hampshire Democratic Party Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Manchester.
