DERRY, N.H. - Mitt Romney returned to Mary Ann's Diner here on Broadway shaking hands for one last time with diners here, a day before the New Hampshire Primary.

Romney is currently in a fight with John McCain for the top spot here. McCain and Romney are largely campaigning in different areas today. Romney is firmly in Southern New Hampshire while McCain isn't touching any areas below Manchester. (McCain did have a huge town hall yesterday in Salem.)

If Romney is to do well in tomorrow's primary he is going to need to do well in a town like Derry. Derry is chock full of independents and Republicans and a lot of commuters to Massachusetts. He has good local support from some in the establishment like state Senator Bob Letourneau and former Derry Republican Chair Chris Wolfe.
