Clinton has a surprising lead in New Hampshire

After at least 15 polls in the last two days showed her trailing Barack Obama in New Hampshire, it’s somewhat of a surprise that Hillary Clinton is ahead of Obama with 26 percent of precincts reporting.

Clinton has 25,859 votes, or 40 percent, to Obama’s 22,476, or 34 percent. John Edwards is in third with 10,892 votes, or 17 percent. Bill Richardson remains in fourth with 2,918 votes, or 4 percent.
