...Undecided Hanover voter Jane Hooper, who caught up with Obama in Lebanon, is weighing a choice today between him and John Edwards. "Who knows what he can do when he gets in there," she said. But she liked what she heard: "He's fresh and we need something like that...
...talent for customer service, for treating a campaign like market research, may be the one of the things that keeps his candidacy alive. At an "Ask Mitt Anything" event in Salem, one undecided voter came to hear Romney with a pencil in hand.

He delivered a new stump speech, retailored for the less religious and more libertarian New Hampshire voter. It was full of big statements about the wonders of America, the need for low taxes and his identification with the little guy. Back in Iowa, Huckabee would often compare slavery and abortion - both resulted, he argued, from ignoring the principle that every human life is created equal.
