NH Guv Won't Follow Wife's Lead

UPDATE

Though his wife threw her support behind Hillary Clinton today, New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch, who was re-elected last November with a 74 percent of the vote, will remain neutral in the primary race, per NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli.

"He respects her decision to endorse, but the governor will remain neutral," said Colin Manning, the governor's press secretary. "He is focused on being a good host for the primary."

Susan Lynch, a physician, endorsed HRC earlier today in Concord. She is a mother of three and a popular figure in the state. She is also the latest big name Granite State endorsement to go to Hillary ... In fact, with Susan Lynch's support and the governor's pledge to stay uncommitted, HRC arguably has the most prominent Dems in the state on board (Billy Shaheen, Senate Prez. Sylvia Larsen, House Speaker Terie Norelli, former Dem Party chairwoman Kathy Sullivan and more). Save one ... Jeanne Shaheen.

Since Jeanne Shaheen is running herself, I doubt she'll endorse anyone, but will instead campaign with the general election candidate.
