MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Democrat Barack Obama expanded his lead over Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire to 13 points as voting began in the state's critical presidential primary, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Tuesday.
Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona also widened his advantage over former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, taking a 36 percent to 27 percent edge after months of hard campaigning in the state.
Obama continued to feed on the momentum from his performance in Iowa last week, when he and Republican Mike Huckabee scored breakthrough wins that left Clinton and Romney reeling.
Obama, a senator from Illinois bidding to make history as the first black U.S. president, led the one-time Democratic front-runner 42 percent to 29 percent. Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards was third with 17 percent.
"Obama is still on a roll and not slowing down. He had another big day," pollster John Zogby said.
Obama led Clinton in all categories of voters except women and voters over the age of 65, and was pulling away from the New York senator among base Democratic voters.
"This is the same thing he did in the closing hours in Iowa," Zogby said of Obama.

Major Garrett just reporting on FoxNews that, basically, the Clinton campaign has conceded defeat and are looking toward the next primary.
Damn. Maybe if Bill and Hill had spent some more time in bed together she wouldn’t need to get her ass spanked in public so badly.

NEITHER CAN I! I had the exact same thought reading this article.
I love “The Witch is Dead” but while we sing it do you have a nasty, nagging thought that maybe the witch is being replaced by a Warlock who will be harder to slay?
There’s no way someone named Hussein Obama can win the general election.
Never say never. But I, and it appears even the loony left want clinton out of the picture.

I will offer prayers every day that you may be proven right! On the other hand there was a time when I thought that someone like Bill Clinton, who was instantly recognizable to me as a classic southern style empty suit con-artist, could never be nominated, let alone win twice. My confidence in the electorate is minimal and my fear of Demo vote-fraud is maximal.
I will keep my fingers crossed that McCain does not surge. I can’t stand him! I do not believe he can win a general election. Depressed Republicans would stay home.

Zogby, Rasmussen, all polling organizations in fact got it so wrong. They had Obama by 10+ but he’s going to lose to Clinton tonight. What happened? Did the poll inevitability create a rush of independents to McCain to help him in the “close” race to a blowout while taking the air out of Obama?
