New Hampshire Primary Results


The Comeback Kids
McCain, Clinton Win

Well, yesterday was a bad day for the political pollsters. Hillary Clinton beat Barack Obama by two percent, even though she was down in just about every poll. John Edwards polled a distant third. Here are the Democratic results:
  1. Clinton: 39%
  2. Obama: 37%
  3. Edwards: 17%
  4. Richardson: 5%
The true comeback kid is John McCain, as he won a very impressive victory. He beat Mitt Romney by six percent. Mike Huckabee kept a little momentum from Iowa, and came in third. Here are the Republican results:

  1. McCain: 37%
  2. Romney: 31%
  3. Huckabee: 11%
  4. Giuliani: 9%
  5. Paul: 8%
  6. Thompson: 1%

In my opinion Hillary Clinton showed that she truly is a very strong contender, and that Obama love is not as strong as many thought. McCain's win is so huge for him, as many thought he was out back in the summer. He managed to come back from the dead and prove everyone wrong.

Michigan holds their primary on Tuesday, but the Democrats aren't really competing because they were stripped of delegates. However, the Republicans will have a tough fight between Romney (this is his birth state), McCain, Huckabee, an maybe Giuliani (this does go against his strategy though). We will wait and see what happens, but we have a LONG way to go.
