Politics NASHUA, N.H. (AP) - If enough independent voters back Democrat
Barack Obama instead of Republican John McCain in New Hampshire,
that could be enough to give Mitt Romney a much-needed win on the
Republican side.
Romney aides are hoping for a surge in favor of Obama, which
could deny McCain the independent votes that helped him win the
state's primary eight years ago.
"Undeclareds" make up the majority of registered voters in the
state, and those independents are free to vote in either primary
tomorrow.

New Hampshire on the strength of his resume - success in business,
fixing a troubled Olympics, turning a budget deficit into a surplus
in neighboring Massachusetts. It's a late gamble that may prove a
better bet than the policy positions that exposed him time and
again to charges of flip-flopping, opportunism and a distinct lack
of authenticity. NECN's Greg Wayland has more.

very personal for her.
She's aiming new criticism at Obama, as she tries avoid a second
straight loss to the Illinois senator in Tuesday's New Hampshire
primary.
Clinton says Obama, who won in Iowa, "is a very talented
politician" but isn't living up to his claim to be a new type of
leader. NECN's Barbara MacLeod has the latest.
