Dartmouth Medical School Professor and former astronaut Jay Buckey announced today he has filed papers to enter the US Senate race in New Hampshire, one of the most closely watched races in the country.

Buckey, a Democrat, starts far behind other Democrats, including former Congressional candidate Katrina Swett and Portsmouth Mayor Steve Marchand, but the primary is well over a year away in September 2008.

Buckey made the announcement via a YouTube video on his website.
