CONCORD, N.H. --It's another busy day on the campaign trail for presidential hopefuls in New Hampshire today.
Candidates are not taking a break on Labor Day in the first primary state.
Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and his family are expected at several events today. Obama began his day by addressing an AFL-CIO union breakfast in Manchester. Afterward he was scheduled to attend a Labor Day rally and ride with his family in a parade in Milford.
Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney also are expected to march in Milford's Labor Day parade at noon.
Meanwhile, from "Edwards gets two big union labels" (Politico):
In a surprise announcement, John Edwards will be endorsed this Labor Day morning by two powerful unions — the United Steelworkers and United Mine Workers. That gives Edwards the largest bloc of formal labor support among the Democratic presidential candidates.
The announcement is being made in Pittsburgh, where the presidents of the two unions are to march with the candidate’s wife, Elizabeth Edwards, in the annual Labor Day parade through downtown Pittsburgh. The presidents are scheduled to join John Edwards onstage when he addresses close to 1,000 union members and their families during a rally at the Mario Lemieux Place-Mellon Arena.
