Obama, Clinton turn battle to New Hampshire (MSM ignores Edwards)

PORTSMOUTH, N.H., Jan 4 (Reuters) - Democrat Barack Obama, fresh from a dramatic victory in Iowa, took his presidential campaign to New Hampshire on Friday, where he hopes to deal a potential knock-out blow to one-time front-runner Hillary Clinton next week.

Clinton, the New York senator and former first lady who was forced into a disappointing third in Thursday's Iowa caucuses behind Obama and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, suddenly finds herself in a possible must-win situation in next Tuesday's New Hampshire primary.

Obama, an Illinois senator seeking to become the first black U.S. president, quickly tried to take advantage of his Iowa victory.

"New Hampshire, if you give me the same chance as Iowa gave me last night, I truly believe that I will be president of the United States of America," Obama told about 1,000 cheering supporters in Portsmouth.

For Republicans, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's come-from-behind win over former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in Iowa on Thursday forced Romney into a scramble to hold on to New Hampshire where he faces a strong challenge from Arizona Sen. John McCain.
