Ah, the holidays. Family, feasting … and a respite from the 2008 presidential race. When we contacted the campaigns, most told us that their candidates would be taking the day off at home. Hillary Clinton will be in Chapaqua, N.Y., Barack Obama is flying home to Chicago, Mitt Romney will be with family in the Boston bedroom community of Belmont, Fred Thompson will return from Iowa to his home in Virginia, and Ron Paul goes back to southeast Texas.
But some Democrats are mixing business with pleasure: Dennis Kucinich alights in New Hampshire today, where he will stay until next Thursday, attending a mix of town halls, rallies and a teach-in at Dartmouth.
