 Polls
Schmolls as Hillary
Clinton Continues to
Lead With OddsmakersSenator Barack Obama may be gaining on Hillary Clinton in the polls but the former First Lady continues to pack a punch among oddsmakers where she is mostly down around 1-2 compared to her previous peak of 1-3 while Obama is holding around 5-1 at most online gambling sites including Sportsbook.com Barack Obama has come from behind to turn the Democratic presidential race in New Hampshire into a toss-up, according to a new Monitor opinion poll. The results - which show Obama with a one-point edge over Hillary Clinton - mirror other polls released this week, indicating that Clinton's once-imposing lead has evaporated in the run-up to New Hampshire's Jan. 8 primary.
Much of Obama's
backing comes from
undeclared voters,
while registered
Democrats make up
the bulk of
Clinton's support.
Sarah Liebowitz of
the Concord Monitor
points out that in
New Hampshire,
undeclared voters
can vote in either
party primary,
giving them sway in
both contests.

and apologised to
Barack Obama in a
desperate attempt to
limit the damage
after the adviser
stated that her
Democratic rival
might have been a
drug dealer. --- Carrie Stroup, Gambling911.com
