I received this from news@timforgovernor.com at 6:14 a.m. today. The subject was: “BREAKING: Globe endorses Cahill!”

I wanted to be the first to share with you an important announcement. After spending the last few weeks plastered on the front page I suspect you might have had a feeling this was coming, but today makes it official. Our campaign is proud to accept the endorsement of the Boston Globe.
Happy April Fools Day,

Be careful if you’re heading out on the roads tonight.
There has been a bit of chatter on the police scanner in the last hour or so about drivers slipping and sliding on the ice, mainly in Methuen. Police have not reported any injuries. DPW crews are sanding.

Here is a transcript of Gov. Lynch’s State of the State address, delivered in Concord today. It was provided to The Eagle-Tribune by the governor’s office.
Governor John Lynch
State of the State Address
Thursday, January 21, 2010
Madam Speaker, Madam President, Mr. Chief Justice, honorable members of the Governor’s Council, the Judiciary, the House and Senate, and my fellow citizens of New Hampshire:
Let me take a moment to introduce my wife and our exceptional first lady, Dr. Susan Lynch. I want to thank her for her support and for all that she does for the people of New Hampshire.
We all mourn the lives lost in the Haitian earthquake and are saddened by the suffering that so many of that country’s residents are enduring. And for some New Hampshire residents, this tragedy is very personal, as they grieve and await news of family and friends. They are in our thoughts and they are in our prayers.
I want to acknowledge a very special group of New Hampshire citizens. During the next year, more than 1,100 members of the New Hampshire National Guard will be deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait.
They’ll leave behind their families, their jobs and their communities.
Let us commit that we will be there for these brave men and women – and their families – during the next year. Let us pray for their safe return. And let us thank them, all of our citizens serving in the armed forces, and all of our veterans – for their service and for their sacrifice.
