The Road Ahead
By Ronald Brownstein, National Journal
In Iowa, Barack Obama showed strength across virtually all segments of his party. But the New Hampshire results re-established the mirror-image portrait that had characterized polling on the race through 2007. In New Hampshire, Obama led among younger, well-educated, and less partisan voters, especially men. Clinton won among older voters, partisan Democrats, and those without college education, especially women. John Edwards drew about evenly from both of those camps, but not at a level that could threaten either Clinton or Obama.
