Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton clashed in the homestretch to the critical New Hampshire primary, deriding each other's claims to be the true candidate of change. Clinton told Democratic voters they should elect ''a doer, not a talker.'' Obama countered that his critics are stuck in the politics of the past. On the Republican side, an emboldened John McCain declared ''I will win,'' and rival Mitt Romney scrambled to prevent a second big race to slip away in the frenzied final hours before Tuesday's first-in-the nation New Hampshire presidential primary.

The Right Reverend V. Gene Robinson, who nearly a decade ago became the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church and will retire his vestments in less than a year, lives far enough away in the New Hampshire countryside from the presidential primary campaign scrum in Manchester as to render it on another planet.
Hillary Rodham Clinton stunned Barack Obama in New Hampshire's Democratic primary, defying polls and pundits to resurrect her bid for the White House. John McCain won the Republican race, completing a remarkable comeback and climbing back into contention for the U.S. presidential nomination. Clinton's victory Tuesday capped a comeback of her own from last week's third-place finish in the Iowa caucuses and raised the possibility of a long battle for the party nomination between Obama, the most viable black candidate in U.S. history, and Clinton, seeking to become the first woman to win the U.S. presidency. ''I felt like we all spoke from our hearts, and I am so gratified that you responded,'' Hillary Clinton said in victory remarks before cheering supporters. ''Now together, let's give America the kind of comeback that New Hampshire has just given me.''
The Human Rights Campaign marked a first in its history this month when it opened a campaign office in Concord, N.H. -- a central hub for presidential candidates on the campaign trail. Though the move attracted little attention nationally, the ceremony attracted about 100 people, including HRC members, staffers from the Obama, Edwards, and Clinton campaigns among others, and key state politicians such as Ray Buckley, the New Hampshire Democratic Party chair. State senate president Sylvia Larsen presented an official proclamation welcoming HRC into the mix.

Iowa caucus victories behind them, Republican Mike Huckabee and Democrat Barack Obama vowed to stick with their winning principles Friday in an abbreviated dash to the finish in New Hampshire's presidential primary campaign, despite facing a different political alignment and, as Huckabee put it, ''only a few days to close the sale.'' Mitt Romney and Sen. John McCain, GOP poll leaders in New Hampshire, stood ready to try to douse Huckabee's ''prairie fire'' in a state that lacks the religious voting bloc of Iowa and has an ornery tradition of rejecting Iowa's Republican caucus winners. ''It will be a different race here,'' Romney said Friday.
Mitt Romney is the target, abortion is the issue, and the $100,000 ad buy will change the tone of the Iowa and New Hampshire presidential primaries. This weekend marks the first negative TV advertising in the two early voting states as campaigns headed into the critical weeks before the first vote, with an independent group's claim that the former Massachusetts governor has flip-flopped -- a sometimes crippling charge in presidential politics. Analysts say similar negative ads are likely to air against Romney's chief GOP rival, Rudy Giuliani, whose positions on gun control and immigration are markedly different from those he espoused as New York City mayor.
