      Obama Takes 13-Point NH Lead

      (Newser) - Barack Obama stung Hillary Clinton with a shocking double-digit lead in New Hampshire today, according to two polls. One put him ahead by 13 points.

      Prez Hopefuls Target Obama

      (Newser) - GOP and Dem hopefuls alike hammered Barack Obama’s platform in the hours before tonight’s crucial debates in New Hampshire, Reuters reports.

      Candidates Retool Themes on the Fly in NH

      (Newser) - Presidential candidates were madly shuffling their messages and tactics in New Hampshire today, applying lessons from Iowa and adjusting to NH’s sensibilities, the New York Times reports. Mitt Romney recast himself as a change candidate, while avoiding former go-to issues such as abortion and gay rights. Hillary Clinton threw out her stump speech entirely, instead taking questions, something she’d heretofore avoided. More »

      Clinton, McCain Leads Slipping in NH Poll

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton's and John McCain's slim New Hampshire leads grew even slimmer in the latest poll, Reuters reports. McCain leads Romney 32% to 30%, within the margin of error in the Reuters/Zogby poll out today. Clinton leads Obama 32% to 28%, and pollsters expect that margin to shrink as Obama gets a boost from his Iowa win. Edwards is at 20%. Most of the polling took place before the Iowa results were known. More »

      What's Brewing in NH?

      (Newser) - With the Iowa caucuses behind us, the New Republic pivots to New Hampshire. The second state to vote will do so Tuesday. What’s in play: Independents. They make up 40% of the electorate and can vote for either party. Barack Obama and John McCain tend to poll well in this group. Youth. In 2004, New Hampshire had massive youth turnout. Obama's been turning out young voters, but Hillary Clinton scores well with them. More »

      GOP Poll Picture in NH Looks Fuzzy

      (Newser) - Two new polls out of New Hampshire show GOP surges 4 days ahead of the primary—but in opposite directions. In Suffolk University figures, Mitt Romney leads John McCain by four points, an eight-point shift toward Romney in 2 days’ time, the Boston Herald reports. But American Research Group puts McCain ahead by 10 points, up from a dead heat less than one week ago. More »

      Romney: New Hampshire or Bust

      (Newser) - Mitt Romney has been left scrambling to find a way to restore momentum to his presidential campaign in the wake of a costly, humiliating defeat in Iowa, Time reports. Mike Huckabee's legions of evangelical Christians disrupted what Ana Marie Cox calls his "carefully calibrated strategy to conduct the political version of a leveraged buyout." And a surging John McCain will be a bigger threat than the man one of Mitt's supporters called incredulously "a country sleaze." More »

      Huckabee Wins Iowa Easily Over Romney

      (Newser) - Mike Huckabee won yesterday's Iowa caucuses thanks to a surge of support from evangelical voters.

Fred Thompson held a slim lead over John McCain for the third spot, with Ron Paul not far behind. Rudy Giuliani, who didn't campaign in Iowa, trailed the pack at sixth. More »

      What Will They Say After the Caucuses?

      (Newser) - No matter what result the Iowa caucuses bring tonight, the campaigns will have plenty of spin up their sleeves. NBC’s Chuck Todd previews the politico talk: John Edwards: No one needs this one more. A victory will be a vindication of populism and domestic issues. A loss may well be un-spinnable. Hillary Clinton: If she wins, even barely, we’re back to the inevitability storyline. A three-way tie could be OK, if managed perfectly. Third would be a “near-disaster." More »
