Hillary Clinton Edges Barack Obama in New Hampshire Primary

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) won the Democratic side of New Hampshire primary Tuesday. Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), who won the Iowa caucus last week, came in second.

The two senators were just points apart as Clinton racked up 39% of the vote at the polls to Obama's 37%.

Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) gathered 17%, while former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson received 5%. Sen. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) received 1%.

Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE), former U.S. Senator Mike Gravel (D-AK), Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) all received votes, but not enough to receive a percentage.

Next on the presidential primary schedule is the Michigan primary on Jan. 15, followed by the Nevada caucus and the South Carolina Republican primary on Jan. 19. The South Carolina Democratic primary is Jan. 26, while the Florida Primary is Jan. 29. The Maine Caucus is Feb. 2, just three days before Super Tuesday.

On Super Tuesday, there will primaries and caucuses for both parties in 19 states, plus three Democratic-only caucuses and one Republican-only primary.
