OBAMA, MCCAIN LEAD IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

Gallup has Obama up big over Hillary, McCain up a little over Romney. (Gallup)

From another story: With the New Hampshire primary Tuesday, Obama is riding a very big wave, spreading consternation and bewilderment through the ranks of Clinton supporters here struggling to make sense of what is unfolding before them. (CBS News)

Bill Clinton is little help, unable to fill small venues. (NY Times)

A number of stories point out Clinton and Romney are revamping their campaigns as New Hampshire approaches. (Washington Post)

From Bill Kristol: After the last two elections, featuring the well-born George Bush and Al Gore and John Kerry, Americans — even Republicans! — are ready for a likable regular guy. Huckabee seems to be that. He came up from modest origins. He served as governor of Arkansas for more than a decade. He fought a successful battle against being overweight. These may not be utterly compelling qualifications for the presidency. I’m certainly not ready to sign up. Still, as the conservative writer Michelle Malkin put it, “For the work-hard-to-get-ahead strivers who represent the heart and soul of the G.O.P., there are obvious, powerful points of identification.” (NY Times)
