Mitt Romney kicks the weekend off with an early mornming rally at Portsmouth airport. And we do mean early. Romney is touching down from Iowa at 1:30 a.m. (RSVP required, for that event). Also Friday, the New Hampshire Peace Action and the American Friends Service Committee take their anti-war campaign on the road — on the Yellow Rose of Texas Peace Bus, described as “a slogan-bedecked, full-sized coach.”
Jim Goodnow of Texas, a Vietnam veteran, owns and drives the bus, which will go to the debates at Saint Anselm College and a Republican breafast in Milford on Sunday morning, among other stops with religious leaders, military families and vets.
Rumors are Hillary Clinton will visit MaryAnn’s Diner in Derry on Sunday and Barack Obama will stop by Salem High. John Edwards and John McCain also have local visits this weekend. Edwards’ Derry visit is still being arranged. McCain will be at Salem’s Woodbury School on Sunday.
Saturday, at long last, Fred Thompson will be in New Hampshire to participate in the ABC TV debates. Also, actor Chuck Norris (“An Eye for An Eye,” “Delta Force,” “Delta Force 2″) is scheduled to appear with Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at several campaign stops. They were snowed out last month. (Saturday at 10 a.m., they’re at Londonderry Middle School. Sunday, they’re in Windham at the Lobster Tail at 11:30 a.m.) More to follow.
