With less than a year before New Hampshire's primary, the moves by presidential candidates are fast and furious.
Here are a few of the key updates:
[-] Media: Fox News and the state Republican Party announced plans for two presidential debates that will air live on both TV and radio.
The first is set for this Sept. 6 with the second to come soon before the New Hampshire primary. That date as we all know is very much up in the air and up to Secretary of State Bill Gardner to tell us some time this fall.
[-] Hillary Clinton: The Democratic front-runner is hard at work trying to line up endorsements and identify key staff in advance of her first trip to the state next Saturday and Sunday.
Democratic Party Finance Director Liz Purdy has told friends that she's going to do some volunteer work for the Clinton camp. Purdy's husband is state Economic Development Director Michael Vlachich who managed the re-election campaign of Gov. John Lynch last fall.
Plans for the Clinton trip are still evolving but she'll reportedly be starting up in the North Country city of Berlin Saturday.
[-] Rudy Giuliani: The former, New York mayor landed a big-time endorsement Friday of his Republican bid the same day Giuliani arrived for a two-day tour here. Former Massachusetts Gov. Paul Cellucci has climbed aboard.
“This is not anti-Mitt, it is pro-Rudy,'' said Cellucci referring to Giuliani primary rival and fellow, ex-Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney.
[-] Chris Dodd: Former Democratic Party Chairman Joe Keefe is the first big local fish that Dodd's Democratic campaign has landed. Keefe was sticking with 2004 nominee John Kerry right up until Kerry's decision Wednesday that he wouldn't be running in 2008.
[-] Dennis Kuchinich: The Democratic hopeful will be the first candidate to appear at a series of meet and greet events that Democracy for New Hampshire will sponsor this cycle.
The event as at Atlantic Media in Portsmouth next Sunday morning at 10:30
