Caroline Kennedy to stump for Obama in N.H.

Caroline Kennedy will campaign in New Hampshire for President Obama next week, including a stop on Wednesday afternoon at Nashua City Hall, where her father gave the first official speech of his 1960 campaign. Later Wednesday, she will reach out to voters in Manchester, the state’s largest city. On Thursday, she will travel to Meredith, a small town on Lake Winnipesaukee, as the president’s campaign appeals for support in a swing state whose four electoral votes could prove critical in November.

Obama won the state by nearly 10 percentage points in 2008, but observers are expecting a much closer race this year despite a 5.0 percent state unemployment rate that is among the lowest in the nation.
