Obama Scores Big In NH
Barack Obama, who already enjoys the support of freshman Democratic Rep. Paul Hodes of New Hampshire, got the sweep today as the New Hampshire Union Leader reports. The Granite State's other Democratic member of Congress, Carol Shea-Porter, will back Obama as well. Shea-Porter, whose district includes Democratic vote-rich Manchester, can speed Obama's growing momentum among women.
Hillary Clinton has enjoyed big leads in New Hampshire, by as much as 20 points in the RCP New Hampshire Average. Now, though, her lead has shrunk to just 8 points, and a Mason-Dixon poll out over the weekend showed her leading by just 3.
After a huge rally with Oprah Winfrey this weekend, the New Hampshire momentum seems to be on Obama's side. Will Shea-Porter be the straw that breaks the Clinton camel's back?
