Sarah Palin’s bus tour is making an appearance today in New Hampshire — the same day that Mitt Romney is officially announcing his presidential campaign in the state, and in fact she’ll only be a few minutes’ travel away from him. But as she says, it’s just a coincidence.

CNN reports:

“I think that’s exciting for him, that’s great for him,” Palin told reporters at her Boston hotel before touring historical sites along the city’s Freedom Trail. “It’s coincidental that we are in the same territory at the same time, but more power to Mitt as he mounts his campaign and best of luck to him.”

News leaked late yesterday that Palin is organizing a clambake for Thursday evening along the New Hampshire seacoast, just minutes from the Stratham farm where Romney plans to officially announce his second presidential bid.
