| Clinton invited to headline N.H. event AP - New Hampshire Democrats have invited New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the featured speaker at a major fundraiser early next year and the potential presidential candidate is considering the invite. The trip would be Clinton's first to the early presidential primary state in more than 10 years. Her last visit was in October 1996 when the then-first lady campaigned for Democratic candidates, including her husband's re-election bid. The New Hampshire fundraiser -- known as the "100 Club" fundraiser -- is usually held in February or early March. Polls show Clinton is the Democratic front-runner, but Illinois Sen. Barack Obama drew standing room-only crowds at two appearances last weekend in his first visit to the state. Other presidential hopefuls have made repeated visits to New Hampshire this year. Nick Clemons, the state party's executive director, said Clinton has not accepted the invitation and no date has been set. "We have invited Senator Clinton and we'd like very much for her to be our guest," he said Thursday. Clinton has been conferring with Iowa and New Hampshire party activists as well as hiring staff for an expected presidential run. Last edited by avsp; 12-15-2006 at 08:51 AM.. | ||||
