Washington : As campaign volunteers disappear from the streets and candidates’ posters come off the walls in Iowa, New Hampshire becomes the second heated battlefield in which the 2008 presidential contenders will further their leads or fight for survival in the Jan. 8 primary.
The first bout in the Iowa caucuses on Thursday has left the following primaries and caucuses more uncertain, with Illinois Senator Barack Obama leading the Democrats with 38 percent and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee topping the Republican list with 34 percent.
New York Senator Hillary Clinton slipped to third place, losing only one percentage point to former North Carolina Senator John Edwards, but nine percent behind Obama.
