Joe Biden’s New Hampshire guest list

If you're keeping score for 2016, the Union Leader’s John DiStaso reports on a New Hampshire-flavored list of invitees to an inauguration reception Sunday at Vice President Joe Biden’s residence:

As New Hampshire Democrats prepare to go to Washington for President Barack Obama's inauguration, Biden has invited a select group of Granite Staters to a reception at his official residence on Sunday. Among those on the invite list are state Senate Democratic Leader Sylvia Larsen, state Sens. Lou D'Allesandro and Donna Soucy, lobbyist Jim Demers, who was Obama's original supporter in the state, Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire President David Lang as well as Gov. Maggie Hassan, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Reps. Carol Shea-Porter and Annie Kuster.

Even aside from the governor and the state's Democratic congressional delegation, it’s a list of first-in-the-nation primary heavy-hitters -- some of whom backed Hillary Clinton in 2008.
