Happy Hour Roundup
•Barack Obama's campaign now has an official Web page just for the New Hampshire race.

•Hillary Clinton has rolled out a list of 500 female supporters in New Hampshire. One of them, State Sen. Betsi DeVries, benefitted from a fundraiser just a few days ago headlined by Chris Dodd.

•Mitt Romney's campaign announced the endorsements of 10 Florida state legislators.
•John McCain's campaign unveiled their statewide leadership team in New Hampshire, including former state Executive Councillor Peter Spaulding, former state GOP Chairman Steve Duprey, and others.
• And finally, here is the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's new ad hammering GOP Rep. John Doolittle:
