Democratic Debate in New Hampshire Won by Obama

According to a Drudge poll, 35% of respondents had Barack Obama winning the Democratic Debate in New Hampshire Sunday, a total of 9,394 individuals voting. 

Bill Richardson came in a distant second with 15% of the vote.  Hillary Clinton came in with 12% of the vote.

Illinois Senator Barack Obama called out former North Carolina Senator John Edwards for voting in 2002 to authorize the war. Obama told Edwards he was "about four and a half years late onleadership on this issue."

Obama was not in the Senate back then but had voiced opposition to the war resolution at the time.

Edwards conceded Obama "was right, I was wrong" on opposing the war from the beginning. Edwards sought to highlight his change of heart on his vote with New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's continuing refusal to disavow her vote for the war resolution.

Clinton, for her part, again declined to say her vote was wrong.

Barack Obama remained at 7 to 2 odds of winning the 2008 Presidential race while Clinton held onto a 2 to 1 favorite position at Sportsbook.com

"I believe we will see some changes in the 2008 US Presidential Elections odds over the next two days," predicts Gambling911.com Political betting analyst, Carrie Stroup.  "This may be a good time to get in on Obama at somewhat long odds compared to what they may be in the coming days."
