Former Virginia Governor, and Republican presidential candidate, Jim Gilmore has announced that he is suspending his presidential candidacy. Gilmore told The Politico's Mike Allen that he is dropping out of the race "Because of the front-loading of the primaries, I would have basically had to stop campaigning and spend full time organizing hundreds of people to raise money for me." Gilmore said that he will now establish a PAC and focus on electing Republicans to the Virginia legislature. Gilmore had visited New Hampshire three times and was polling at near zero percent.

Clintons Woo Manchester Crowd
The following campaign event summary was submitted by Lance Kuntzman. Mr. Kuntzman attended the Manchester rally for Hillary Clinton. Here is his report:
The Clinton staff, by far,is one of the best with organization and attention to detail. Tons of volunteers, huge signs and a festive atmosphere. My wife and I had front row seats, and Hillary definitely has become a MUCH better speaker over time ... especially compared to earlier this year. She was passionate, forceful and very funny as well. My two favorites were saying she will be as tough with federal finances as her father was with the family budget and that as a woman she is ready to"clean up" the mess in Washington. Bill spoke beforehand, and he was fantastic. I can see why he is considered to be the best candidate of his generation. He was gracious in speaking about all the Dems running, saying they are all quite good. However, his wife (surprise!) is the best qualified to be elected. He also said he would volunteer for the campaign even if he was not married to Hillary, and that she is the best non incumbent candidate he has seen in his 40 years of voting.

McCain: I Am Responsible For Campaign
While campaigning in New Hampshire, John McCain spend a half-hour on a "blogger" conference call. During the discussion, McCain admitted that he his responsible for the problems with his campaign and the campaign allowed spending to get out of control. On the other hand, McCain said that he now feels the campaign is "back on track" and he is "sorry" that he had to "part company with people I am dear friends with." The Arizona Senator also said he had received an ethusaistic response in Concord and will be doing more town-hall meetings and face-to-face events, with voters. In response to a question on campaign debts, McCain said "there are debts, I don’t have specifics because I have not seen it. Our folks are still working on it."
McCain took most of his time to answer questions on Iraq. Here are some highlights:
On the Lugar/Warner authorization amendments:
"once you authorize a nation to go to war you either win the war or lose the war. We have not lost the war."
Iraqi Government:
"Not making political progress, the government is not functioning has it needs too"
Public Sentiment on Iraq/withdrawal:
"Americans (from the media) don’t get complete big picture…withdrawal options are not thoroughly discussed"

McCain: Iraqi Government Not Working
Speaking before the Concord Chamber of Commerce, John McCain said
"Now that the military effort in Iraq is showing some signs of progress, the space is opening for political progress. Yet rather than seizing the opportunity, the government of Prime Minister Maliki is not functioning as it must. We see little evidence of reconciliation and little progress toward meeting the benchmarks laid out by the President. The Iraqi government can function; the question is whether it will. If there is to be hope of a sustainable end to the violence that so plagues that country, Iraqi political leaders must seize this opportunity. It will not come around again."
McCain also purposed increasing the Marines from 750,000 troops to 900,000 and forming an "Army Advisor Corps" that would work with friendly militaries aboard.

Rudy Criticizes Hillary's Position on Iraq
In this weeke's WKXL 1450's "On the Campaign Trail" radio segment, Rudy Giuliani criticizes Hillary Clinton's position on Iraq. In an interview, the former New York Mayor said,
"If you look at the leading candidate on the democratic side, she first voted for this war. She applauded the downfall of Sadaam Hussein. Then she was never going to vote for a timetable for retreat, because it was irresponsible to vote for a timetable for retreat. Then she voted for a timetable for retreat. Then she said she would never vote to defund the troops and then she voted to defund the troops. There I count three or four different positions on a matter of war and peace."

Script For "Ann On Family" (Radio:60):
ANN ROMNEY: "The most common question I get is 'How did you guys meet?' It's always so fun to tell that story."
ANNOUNCER: "Ann Romney talks about her husband Mitt Romney."
ANN ROMNEY: "We met in high school at a party, and we've been going steady ever since.
"We've been married 38 years. We have five sons, lovely sons, and ten grandchildren.
"I was always looking for that girl. I had to wait until my first granddaughter. Finally, I get to buy pink!
"Mitt says his greatest success is being able to say 'I've been a good father, and a good husband.'
"Sometimes, I'd be home with those five boys, and it was rough. They were, they were pretty crazy boys. And they were wild.
"He'd call home and remind me that what I was doing was much more important than what he was doing.
"Mitt says there's no work more important than what goes on within the four walls of the American home. And that's the way it was in our home.
"I'm Ann Romney, and if you see us on the campaign trail, please come up and say hello. Or, you can get on the website at MittRomney.com."

Chuck Morse Endorses Romney
Former Republican State Senator Chuck Morse has endorsed Mitt Romney. Morse decided to endorse Romney because "We need to stop the out of control pork barrel spending in Washington. Our leaders need to exercise fiscal responsibility. Our next president must be a person who has executive experience in reducing waste, who can make tough decisions, who can balance the books, and who doesn't mind using his veto pen."

"America is badly divided and in desperate need of new solutions, new ideas, and a new way of conducting politics. Barack Obama is the candidate who can best help Americans focus on our common strengths and dreams, rather than our differences. We must move forward into the 21 st Century and not back to old divisions and Barack will catalyze the change we need—in our disastrous policies, but also in the way the world sees us, and how we see ourselves. Meg and I are thrilled to get to work for Barack here in NH and across the US."

Huckabee Dedicates "Free Bird" To The Granite State
Photo is: ©Chris Fitzgerald/CandidatePhotos.comRepublican Presidential Candidate and bass player Mike Huckabee and his band, 'Capital Offense,' performed a medley of classic rock and roll songs during a Support the Troops rally in Nashua and at a campaign picnic (as seen in photo) on the grounds of Delta Dental in Concord.
At the Nashua event, he dedicated the song, Free bird, to New Hampshire, the Live Free or Die State. During the concert, he wore on his shirt a button with a photo of a soldier from New Hampshire serving in Iraq. The button had been presented to him by a parent.
At the concert in Concord, he invited Fred Bramate, his NH Campaign Co-chairman, up to the stage. The band performed and Bramate sang the song 'Louie, Louie.' Minutes later, a deluge of rain struck during the performance of the song, Free Bird. The band, playing in the open, did not stop until the song was finished. After that, Huckabee and his band mates scrambled to move their instruments and sound equipment into cases. He then moved to a large tent and shook hands.
Between concerts, he delivered a speech and shook hands at the annual Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers picnic in Hopkinton.
