If your interest in the primary has been mostly towards the so-called top-tier candidates, today is an opportunity to meet three you may not have met before.

Today former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson begins a nine-day visit, businessman Herman Cain is on his second of two days, Thaddeus McCotter is on the second of three, and former Louisiana Gov. Charles "Buddy" Roemer has moved to New Hampshire.

Each candidate will attend the New Hampshire Young Republicans’ Lobster Bake and Straw Poll today in New Castle.

Mr. Johnson also visits Fast Eddie’s Diner in Hampton from 9:30 to 10:30 am.

Mr. Cain is on his Common Sense Solutions bus tour, which his campaign says made 20 stops in Iowa. He begins the day with a breakfast meeting at Week’s Restaurant in Dover at 8:30 am. He arrives at Breaking New Grounds in Durham just before 10 am, and just before 11 o’clock to The Friendly Toast in Portsmouth.

Before heading to the Lobster Bake, Mr. McCotter will attend the Fun in the Sun Family Cookout in Hollis at 11 am. Afterwards, he attends the Seacoast Young Republicans party in Portsmouth.

Mr. Roemer is also expected to attend the Lobster Bake.
