Surprising victory of Hillary Clinton

Democrat senator Hillary Clinton won the confrontation against senator Barrack Obama in the preliminary elections in New Hampshire. The race was a lot tighter than expected. Clinton won by just 2%, after Obama was indicated as favorite by pre-scrutiny polls. Advisers in the Democrat campaign say that Hillary won due to her sensitive attitude. In the Republican camp, John McCain won by far, with 37%.

Polls before the elections indicated that Obama leads by 13%, but the mere 2% behind Hillary still qualify him for a tight race during the following weeks.
