New Hampshire Republican Primary Results

Probably means Obama Clinton will be closer.

Last night I was watching WMUR on CSPAN. I noticed the way the reporters were discussing the outcome, one would think Romney and McCain were tied and Obama was routing Hilldawg. Most of those late-deciding Indys probably went to the GOP primary to help out McCain and poor Obam may lose because of this late movement. Champagne corks must be popping at the RNC's HQ.

I agree with this.

I agree too.  Perception is a lot these days.

According to CNN, McCain only beat Romney by 4% among Indies!!!!!

That can't be right.

Even amongst Republicans, McCain edged out Romney.

Republicans are often practical voters, when it comes down to it.

Mainly directed at Sam, but is there any chance that some independent voters unexpectedly broke late for Romney?  This could be the reason for McCain's low margin among Independents.

Other way around.  I suspect Republicans broke late for McCain.

Look folks, if McCain sweeps Michigan, Nevada and South Carolina, he will win.  That's a tough road to go.  Other than that, the race continues.

I do expect him to beat Romney in Michigan, however.

At 95.68% of the vote, Republican turnout is just short of 228,000.  Looks like the 240,000 prediction will be right on the money.

Total turnout:  238,878
