Longshot Republican presidential nominee Lindsey Graham will visit Rochester and Milton on Friday as he tries to reboot his foundering standard-bearer bid.

Along with stops in Salem, Amherst, Milford and Derry, Graham will visit maker of off-road motorcycles Rokon Corp of Rochester at 1:30 p.m. then travel north to visit with Bob Graham, a candidate for state representative, with whom he'll knock on a few doors, according to a press release from campaign organizers.

He's expected to arrive at Bob Graham's 58 Bolan Road home in Milton around 3 p.m.

The Repubican U.S. Senator from South Carolina will end the day with a "No BS Backyard BBQ" at 5:30 p.m. in the barn of a residence owned by Dr. and Mrs. James Betti, 218 Wallis Road, Rye, N.H., which will also be attended by former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown.

Graham has slipped to just 1 percent in the most recent CNN/ORC poll out this week. As of now it doesn't appear that Graham will make the top-ten cut for the Oct. 28 Republican debate.
