Burr in New Hampshire for McCain


U.S. Sen. Richard Burr is campaigning for John McCain in New Hampshire.

After speaking to about 750 people at two Iowa caucuses and working the phones, the North Carolina senator is now spreading his "firsthand knowledge" in the Granite State, the Charlotte Observer reports.

Burr says he hopes that his experience in the Senate with McCain gives his endorsement some weight:

"That's why I committed and committed very early," he said. "Most members of Congress look at it and see a down side (to endorsing.) That's a judgment call everyone has to make.

"I feel strongly enough that John McCain should be president that I'm willing to go out here and invest my time."

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole does not plan to endorse in the primary.
