New Hampshire will continue its central role in the presidential race on Thursday.
John McCain's campaign just announced that his daughter Meghan will campaign in the state, meeting volunteers at the campaign office in Nashua, then spending time with students at the University of New Hampshire in Durham.
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama will also be in the state, for a rally in Londonderry.
Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her husband Todd are both stumping in New Hampshire today.
Along with these notable visits, Senator and Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden spoke Monday in several important New Hampshire districts, criticizing McCain and praising New Hampshirians for their wisdom. Recent polls show Obama with a sizable but not insurmountable lead in the state that is being heavily sought after by Republicans as well.
Biden was well received at both of his speaking stops, although when he campaigned for president in the state in both 1988 and 2008, he was given a lackluster reception. He was cheered for his criticisms of Bush and his promise to withdraw the troops from Iraq.
Although the race is close and seems slightly tilted in Obama's favor, the Republicans are still pushing as Governor Sarah Palin makes her first visit to the state since joining the McCain ticket and McCain sends his daughter in to do some more campaign work tomorrow.
