Let the GOP Primary Parade Begin!

A flood of well known Republican political figures are scheduled to visit New Hampshire over the next two months, many of whom could be presidential candidates in 2016.

It all starts tonight, when former Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan is scheduled to be in Manchester (weather permitting, of course) for a fundraiser for GOP Congressional candidate Frank Guinta.

Sure, we've seen a few potential 2016 Republican presidential candidates in the Granite State over the past year or so. But over the next two months, nine well-known Republican political figures who could have eyes on the Oval Office will visit New Hampshire.

Bobby Jindal, Rick Santorum, Pete King and John Bolton are all scheduled to attend the Northeast Republican Leadership Conference from March 14-16 at the Crowne Plaza in Nashua.

And just a month after that, Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, Newt Gingrich, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are all expected to speak at the New Hampshire Freedom Summit on April 12 at the Executive Court in Manchester. The event is being sponsored by the conservative groups Citizens United and Americans for Prosperity.
