U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) is scheduled to campaign this weekend in the Granite State.

Kerry will be attending events for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama in Nashua and Manchester.

"The phone calls that Sen. McCain is using in the Granite State and across the country to scare voters and spread misinformation about Sen. Obama are incredibly offensive and demonstrate McCain's desperate attempt to distract from the economy," said Sandra Abrevaya, Obama's New Hampshire Communications Director.  "We're thrilled that Sen. Kerry will be in the state this weekend to combat these false claims about Sen. Obama and discuss why Sen. McCain represents more of the same failed Republican leadership."
