[goobergunch]

BOSTON -- Howard Dean topped John Kerry by 9 points in a new poll of likely New Hampshire Democratic primary voters, with newcomer Wesley Clark speeding past the other seven Democratic presidential contenders.

Dean was the choice for 26 percent of voters, followed by Kerry with 17 percent and Clark with 10 percent, according to the poll by WHDH-TV and Suffolk University conducted between Sept. 26-28. The poll was released Monday.

Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut had 7 percent and Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina and Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri were at 6 percent. The remaining candidates were at 2 percent or fewer.

A Suffolk poll conducted in March showed Kerry leading with 32 percent of the vote, Lieberman second with 17 percent and Dean third with 10 percent.

1. We all knew when Clark would enter it'd chip Dean's lead down.

But still a 9 point lead is good, being this WAS a state Kerry had locked in his pocket for a good long time.

2. Let's not forget Dean had NH locked up this summer.

and is now only leading by 9 points.

This is politics and anything, and everything will happen.

5. Locked up?

Nothing is locked up until election day. Kerry had NH 'locked up' before Dean took it away from him and is now fighting to get it back. And both Dean and Kerry suddenly have Clark to contend with.
