Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN) is headed to New Hampshire, home of the ‘First in the Nation Presidential Primary,’ next month.
Political insiders see it as another sign that Pence, the number three Republican in the House of Representatives, may be preparing for a run at the GOP Presidential Nomination in 2012.
Pence recently announced that in 2010 he will not be running for the senate seat currently held by Evan Bayh (D).
Now we have learned that Pence will be the keynote speaker at the Hillsborough County Republican Committee’s Lincoln-Reagan Gala on March 19, an event attended by Presidential hopefuls in the past.
This will be Pence’s first trip to The Granite State, however last summer he visited Iowa, another crucial early state in Presidential politics.
