NH Congressman endorses Obama
MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Democratic New Hampshire Congressman Paul Hodes, a freshman from Concord, is set to endorse Barack Obama's presidential campaign tomorrow, the Globe has confirmed.
The event is set for tomorrow morning in downtown Concord, where Obama's advance staff began working Tuesday night to develop the staging area, sparking rumors inside the New Hampshire political community about who the endorsement might be from.
Given that Hodes has only been in office for less than a year he doesn't have much of a political base to give Obama, but he is the most high profile endorsement the campaign has picked up in the state so far.
