NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY
The Jan. 8 New Hampshire primary was another turnout record in America - the second in this presidential race. About half a million voters, including a majority of registered independents, came to the polls. To the chagrin of pollsters and everyone who pronounced Barack Obama's win as certain, Hillary Clinton made a clean break for the front and claimed 39 percent of the Democratic votes. The Republican contest was quick and predictable, with John McCain grabbing a quick, substantial victory in the state. Clinton again re-styled her image, this time to a younger, more accessible post-teary-eyed moment Hillary, and winners and losers alike kept holding up the banner of change. CNN even gave Ron Paul a near full five minutes of air time.

There are so many of us online that love Ron Paul. Why isn't that translating at the polls? Seems awfully strange to me.

@Confused: Because they know how many people are left in the other precincts and what the exit polls showed. I've been watching this all night, it's not going to budge too far past what is shown above.

Gravel 0%? That's pretty sad, since he is the only one who tells the truth without reservation. The Truth = 0% support in America. No big surprise, I guess. People voted for Hillary and Obama because the TV told them to. Typical.

Strange how Ron Paul was tied with Guiliani at 9% and now suddenly he's at 8% and isn't budging at all. I still think something is rigged.

Are the people in NH that THICK or is it possible that the numbers are being manipulated? I just can't believe that people would vote for more of the same crap in Washington.

Also, on this page, the results are the rounded up results of the results reported, which appears that the republican results are not changing at all.

Thanks Steve, I just don't understand why on this page it says "67 percent of the precincts reported" for all the % above but on the politico.com page it has DIFFERENT percentages for the Democrats and Republicans precincts reported.
