By Louise Boyle Last updated at 10:51 PM on 1st March 2012 President Obama left a pleasantly warm Washington this morning for a near blizzard in New Hampshire to drum up voter support as the presidential election loomed on the horizon. Wrapped in a long overcoat, the President smiled and shook hands in the snow on the runway in Manchester as the temperature hovered around 25F. Obama had set off from the capital where it was a bright and sunny day with the temperatures climbing to 66F. His convoy then moved off slowly in the slippery conditions to Nashua Community College where he toured the school's automotive lab before making a speech.
