Obama, Edwards Go Long
Edging in Iowa, Campaigns Look Beyond
By CHRISTOPHER COOPER
Having drawn Hillary Clinton into a trench war in Iowa, her Democratic rivals are stepping up the pressure in New Hampshire and beyond.

While polls in New Hampshire -- often considered a "firewall" for Mrs. Clinton should she lose Iowa -- have been volatile, some recent state surveys have shown her lead over Mr. Obama evaporating. After a hard month that featured several campaign missteps and a hefty load of damaging mudslinging, the New York senator has seen her popularity slip in other early-voting states as well. New polls in South Carolina -- which votes Jan. 26 -- and Florida, Jan. 29, put Mrs. Clinton in a tie with Mr. Obama. A poll this past week in California -- the big prize of the Feb. 5 Super Tuesday states -- showed Mrs. Clinton's lead also shrinking, though still in double digits.
The Clinton campaign didn't respond to a request for comment.

One measure of the tantalizing amount of support that remains in play here: At an Obama rally in Rochester, the Illinois senator asked for a show of hands from undecided voters. In a room packed with hundreds of attendees, about a third raised their hands. "We've got a bunch of live ones here," Mr. Obama said. "We're going to go after them."
