Rudman was honored for his support of campaign reform legislation and service to New Hampshire.

Before the event, guests were treated to a reception that included pictures of Rudman with various friends. One picture included Rudman, former New Hampshire Attorney General Tom Rath and current Supreme Court Justice David Souter.

Now that U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) has gained the Republican presidential nomination the debate is over whether or not McCain's presence on the ballot will benefit New Hampshire Republican candidates.

This morning New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Fergus Cullen released a statement with the title "McCain Nomination Great News for NH Republicans."

Former Republican Congressman Jeb Bradley announced a slate of people who will form his Leadership Council.

The individuals are tasked with helping Bradley win the Republican primary and eventually beat U.S. Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter.

Boston Red Sox fans had to wait 86 years to celebrate a World Series win, but who knows how long Tom Rath will have to wait until a candidate he backs will win the New Hampshire Primary.
