New Hampshire Primary Results–Jan. 8, 2008

New Hampshire Primary
Update:

Democrats:

At Stake: 27 total delegates:
22 decided in the Jan. 8 primary, 5 "superdelegates"

Candidates in the January 8,
2008 New Hampshire Primary:

Senator
   Hillary Clinton--102, 486
   votes=39%–The winner—Number of Delegates from New
   Hampshire: 9
   
   

Senator
   Barack Obama–95, 263
   votes=37%–A very close second–Number of Delegates from
   New Hampshire: 9

   
   

Former Senator John
   Edwards–44,283=17%– A distant third place finish. He
   may do well in parts of the South, especially in South Carolina,
   and in strong union states, but at this point, his best hope is to
   end up with enough pledged delegates in the Democratic Convention
   to be a king or queen maker in the event Clinton and Obama finish
   in a virtual dead heat by summer-time.–Number of
   Delegates from New Hampshire: 4

   
   

Governor Bill Richardson–11,943
   votes=5%–Number of Delegates from New Hampshire:
   0

All 12 decided in the Jan. 8 primary

Candidates in the January 8,
2008 New Hampshire Primary:

 
   
   

John McCain–81,005 votes=37%–The
   Winner–Number of Delegates from New Hampshire:
   7

   
   

Mitt Romney–69,132 votes=11%–Even
   though he took second place, as in Iowa, he was expected to do
   better in New Hampshire, which is literally in his neck of the
   woods, as Romney is a former governor of Massachusetts.–Number
   of Delegates from New Hampshire: 4

   
   

Mike Huckabee–24, 364 votes=9%–New
   Hampshire prides itself on ignoring the Iowa results, and the
   Evangelical base in N.H. is not comparable to that found in Iowa.
   Upcoming Southern States (The Bible Belt), may be good to
   Huckabee, perhaps at the expense of Romney.–Number of
   Delegates from New Hampshire: 1

   
   

Rudy
   Giuliani–18, 763 votes=9%–Did not
   run in New Hampshire. Giuliani is waiting for the Southern
   Primaries, where he has put most of his time, energy, resources,
   and his political future.–Number of Delegates from New
   Hampshire: 0

   
   

Ron Paul–16,655 votes=8%–Paul is still
   hanging in there, representing the true Libertarian and anti-Iraq
   War wing of the Republican Party.–Number of Delegates from New
   Hampshire: 0

   
   

Fred Thompson–2,628 votes=1%–Thompson
   did not look good in the last debate. This may be the beginning of
   the end for his latest co-starring role.–Number of Delegates
   from New Hampshire: 0
