MANCHESTER, N.H. — With back-to-back events featuring multiple presidential hopefuls, it has been something of an instant-replay kind of weekend for New Hampshire Republicans.
Barely 12 hours after five possible candidates spoke Friday at a dinner in Manchester, three of them showed up 10 miles away for a second gathering Saturday morning.
Though Rep. Michele Bachmann started from scratch with her speech, former Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Sen. Rick Santorum largely stuck to the highlights they delivered the previous night, when they were joined by former Gov. Mitt Romney and businessman Herman Cain.
All three White House hopefuls warned that this is the first generation in danger of not passing along a better America to the next.
“I should probably be at my son’s Little League baseball game,” Santorum said. “But I’m not going to be the generation of Americans who hands off to my son Peter— who’s playing baseball right now— a country that is less than what I got.” The Associated Press
