Obama widens lead over Clinton in N.H.

Welcome to a UPI Headline Update on this Tuesday, January 8, 2008. I'm Kristin Volk.

Democrat Barack Obama has expanded his lead over Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire as voting there began today. Obama is now 13 points ahead of Clinton in a new poll. Republican Senator John McCain also widened the gap over former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. McCain is at 36 percent. Romney is at 27 percent.

The son of assassinated Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto says he intends to take on a political role in his homeland, but only after he completes his studies at Oxford University. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has three more years of school but has been appointed party chairman of the Pakistan People's Party. Zardari's mother died last month when her convoy was attacked by a gunman and a suicide bomb blast.

Two people are dead in Missouri after a rare line of tornadoes hammered the Midwest last night. In Wisconsin, at least six homes were severely damaged and cars were blown off the highway. Storms pounded the Midwest after a day of record-high temperatures across much of the country.

Kenya's president and his chief rival are agreeing to talk to end their deadly election dispute. This comes as the Kenyan opposition says up to a thousand people have been killed due to this incident. Although the government puts the death toll at 500. A U.S. envoy says the Kenyans were cheated by rigged elections.

That's all for now. Thanks for watching today's update and check out upi.com all of the day's news.

I have no intention to vote or support Hillary. if she is not playing fair her own election, how she can play fair my interests?

She sold her soul to the devil to be in power at any cost. She is even willing to sell American peoples interest just to get elected
