Filed under: 2012 PresidentIt's official: David Petraeus and Mike Pence have entered the world of presidential speculation. Both are headed to New Hampshire.
Pence is an Indiana Republican popular among conservatives. He heads the House Republican Conference and recently declined to run for Evan Bayh's soon-to-be-vacant Senate seat. Pence was scheduled to appear at the Hillsborough County Republican Committee's Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner on Friday night.
Next week, General Petraeus, commander of U.S. Central Command (and a legal resident of the Granite State), will speak at Saint Anselm College and visit the New Hampshire Institute of Politics.
High-profile visits to New Hampshire guarantee presidential campaign conjecture -- and this is doubly true for the out-of-power Republicans, many of whom are searching for a fresh new face to challenge Barack Obama in 2012.
