GOP field heads to Concord, NH
Stamford, Connecticut (CNN) - Much of the GOP field will visit the New Hampshire state house next week to file for candidacy in the nation's first primary before the Oct. 28 deadline.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will file his paperwork Monday morning, according to the secretary of state's office. The filing follows a stop Romney will make Saturday at his state headquarters in Manchester.
The governor, who enjoys a strong lead in recent state polls, has come under attack from some in New Hampshire for continuing to campaign in Nevada after a tussle between the two states over primary dates.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry plans to file on Friday. Then he will give the keynote speech at Friday's annual meeting of conservative group Cornerstone Action, according to his campaign, and will campaign in the state on Saturday as well.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich plans to file mid-week, his campaign said.
Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, Rep. Ron Paul and former Sen. Rick Santorum all filed their paperwork and the accompanying $1,000 fee during the first week of the filing period.
Vice President Joe Biden filed for President Obama's candidacy Thursday.

What about Bachmann and Cain?
Crickets from Bachmann and Uncle Ben Cain. Exits coming soon
Many are called – FEW are chosen. The FEW are NOT in this group.
Rudy....done and done
Take up the Rich Man’s burden—
For you're the best in breed—
Send profits into exile
Deny your servants' need
Fashion a heavy harness
On impversished folk and wild—
Your new-trapped, stupid peoples,
Half dullard and half child
Take up the Rich Man’s burden
In patience to abide
To use the threat of terror
As tool to snuff their pride;
By doublespeak and symbols
A hiding of your plan
To steal all workers' profits
And bilk your fellow man
Take up the Rich Man’s burden—
And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better
The hate of those ye gouge—
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah slowly) to the light:
"Why brought ye us to bondage,
Our loved employer-knight?”
Take up the Rich Man’s burden-
Have done with gen'rous ways-
The lightly proffered laurel,
The small and stunted raise.
Come now, fluff up your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold-edged with dear-bought elections,
So ignore the masses' tears
Bachmann will have to do it herself, as her staff in the state all quit today.
