From Beacon Hill to the Granite State

State politicians are flocking to the Granite State for the next two weeks to help boost their respective presidential candidates.
Senate Ways and Means chairman Steve Panagiotakos plans to help New York U.S. Sen Hillary Clinton, Acton Rep. and former candidate in the 5th congressional election Jamie Eldridge will be helping out Illinois U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, and Rep. Robert Hargraves, R-Groton, is rooting for former Gov. Mitt Romney.
Recent polling shows Obama and Clinton neck and neck, Panagiotakos said, so he's hoping to do anything he can to give Clinton an edge for the Jan. 8 primary in New Hampshire.
Gov. Deval Patrick will make at least three stops for Obama, in Iowa on Dec. 29 and 30, in New Hampshire on Jan. 5 and 6, and later in South Carolina.
— Hillary Chabot, Statehouse Bureau Chief
