Thompson cancels NH trip

On Wednesday afternoon Fred Thompson's presidential campaign canceled a trip to New Hampshire scheduled for Friday.

The campaign has not given an explaination as to why.

During his trip Thompson was to headline a fund-raiser for Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta Friday morning in a downtown hotel.

Guinta said he was "disappointed" that the fund-raiser wouldn't happen, but he was understanding.

"In presidential politics I understand that things can come up and schedules can change," said Guinta. "I was hoping he would get a chance to meet more New Hampshire voters."

Guinta said that after showing Thompson around Manchester in early September the Thompson campaign offered to hold a fund-raiser for Guinta. When the Thompson campaign called it off they offered to hold another fund-raiser at a later date.

Guinta said he wasn't sure exactly why the trip was called off.
