Romney Scores N.H. Endorsement
Do endorsements matter?
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney picked up a key vote of support yesterday that could help answer that question. He received the endorsement of Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) in Concord, before he officially filed as a candidate in the New Hampshire primary.
New Hampshire is quickly becoming the key battleground for Republican candidates. With Romney far out in front in Iowa, the battle in the Granite State is shaping up to be the first real test for all the leading contenders.
Romney has been pouring money into the state and clearly hopes that Gregg's support will translate into votes on primary day (whenever that will be). But his rivals -- particularly former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) -- are not giving up the state without a fight.
Giuliani plans to spend almost the entire week in New Hampshire, and McCain's advisers have said they think the state is the one place he might be able to revive his flagging candidacy.

NOT THE HOUSE HE WANTS
Tancredo Giving Up His Seat
Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) has had enough. Of Congress, that is.
The five-term member of the U.S. House and long-shot presidential candidate has decided he will not run for reelection in 2008, ending his congressional career as he continues to seek the White House.
