Senator Rand Paul makes history in small N.H. town

WARREN, N.H. -- US Senator Rand Paul on Saturday became the first presidential candidate in recent history to visit this small town nestled in the White Mountain National Forest.
In a state that boasts a presidential candidate visit nearly every day since this spring, Warren gets little attention from White House hopefuls.
“This is a really big deal for Warren,” said Bob Giuda, the town’s moderator. “We often feel a bit ignored by the presidential campaign because we are a small town a bit out of the way, but his visit will have people talking for a while.”
This marked Paul’s second visit to the town, where the common has displayed a rocket since 1971. He campaigned there in 2007 for his father, former US representative Ron Paul of Texas, when he ran for president.

The Kentuckian spent Saturday campaigning in northern New Hampshire for his own presidential aspirations. He also held town hall meetings in West Lebanon and Littleton, visited the North Haverhill town fair, and was scheduled to attend an evening event Saturday night in Tilton.
On Sunday he will host a meet-and-greet at a Windham diner.
