New Hampshire Today, July 25

In New Hampshire today two high profile visits from Senator John McCain and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Both hold a number of events around the state at a time when the Republican race for president is fluid.

Yesterday, Senator Hillary Clinton visited Portsmouth to speak at a forum on global warming, sponsored by the Seacoast Media Group. The Portsmouth Herald (owned by the Seacoast Media Group) has their write-up here, the Globe looks at it also.

Meanwhile more reaction from the CNN/YouTube debate on Monday night. The Union Leader profiles a focus group that watched the debate in Bedford. The Globe says the debate was a "mixed bag".

Ahead of Romney's visit the Globe takes a look at the sparring between Romney and Obama over sex education in public schools.

The Globe also finds that Fred Thompson, no matter his past, is still the darling of conservatives nationally.

Governor Bill Richardson announces he will be back in the state this weekend, but launched new television ads in New Hampshire and Iowa yesterday, the Concord Monitor reports.
