Romney to Launch Campaign June 2

Politico reports:

Mitt Romney will announce his bid for president next week in New Hampshire.

The announcement, first reported by the Union Leader, will be on Thursday, June 2 at the Stratham farm of Doug and Stella Scamman, longtime GOP activists.

The location of the long-expected announcement showcases Romney's focus on New Hampshire — a must-win primary for him in the 2012 race. The former Massachusetts governor owns a house in the state and announced his exploratory committee at the University of New Hampshire.

Romney is considered the frontrunner in the state, regularly pulling about 35 percent in early polls.
