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:

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

   
   

 

Next Up: South Carolina Republican Primary on
Jan. 19

Democrats:

Candidates in the January 3,
2008 Iowa Caucuses:

Senator
   Barack Obama–38%–The
   winner
   
   

Former Senator John Edwards–29%–Still
   alive as the campaign heads for New Hampshire

   
   

Senator
   Hillary Clinton–29%–Huge defeat for
   Hillary as she entered Iowa the clear front-runner, and is now in
   3rd place. She can still pick it up in New Hampshire and hopes the
   Clinton magic can transform her into a new "Comeback Kid," like
   another Clinton did sixteen years ago.

   
   

Governor Bill Richardson–2%

   
   

Senator Joseph Biden–1%

   
   

Uncommitted–Less than 1%

   
   

Senator Christopher Dodd–Less than
   1%

   
   

Former Senator Mike Gravel–Less than
   1%

   
   

Representative
   Dennis Kucinich–Less than
   1%

   
   

 

   
   

 

Republicans:

Candidates in the January 3,
2008 Iowa Caucuses:

 
   
   

Mike Huckabee–34%–The winner. Helped by
   the Evangelical turnout, and by Chuck Norris standing over his
   shoulder.

   
   

Mitt Romney–25%–Even though he took second
   place, he far outspent Huckabee, and losing by nine percentage
   points represents a big fall. May do better in New
   Hampshire.

   
   

Fred Thompson–13%–Not bad considering he
   entered the race late.

   
   

John McCain–13%–Not a bad considering he did
   not really run in Iowa and devoted his resources to New Hampshire.
   Must win next week in the Granite State to survive.

   
   

Ron Paul–10%–May do well in
   libertarian-minded New Hampshire.

   
   

Rudy
   Giuliani–4%–Did not run in Iowa.
   Competing in Iowa and then losing badly would have hurt him more
   than not competing

   
   

Duncan Hunter–1%–Irrelevant before, much more
   irrelevant now.

   
   

Tom Tancredo–Dropped out of the race on
   October 28, 2007. He endorsed Mitt Romney

   
   

 

Rudolph W. Giuliani was born in 1944 in Brooklyn, New York. He is the grandson of Italian immigrants, (and if elected President, he would be America’s only Chief Executive of Italian descent). Giuliani attended Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School, Manhattan College, and New York University Law School.

After joining the office of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Rudy rose quickly through the ranks, becoming the Chief of the Narcotics Unit at age 29. In 1975, Giuliani went to Washington, D.C., and was appointed Associate Deputy Attorney General and chief of staff to the Deputy Attorney General in the Ford Administration. After Ford’s election defeat and the installation of the Democratic Carter Administration in 1977, Giuliani returned to New York to practice law as a private citizen.

After the inauguration of Ronald Reagan in 1981 and the return of Republicans to power, Rudy Giuliani became Associate Attorney General, the third highest position in the Department of Justice. He supervised all of the U.S. Attorney Offices and their federal law enforcement agencies, including the Bureau of Corrections, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the U.S. Marshals.

In 1983, Giuliani returned to New York as the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, where he waged successful legal efforts against organized crime, white collar criminals, drug dealers and corrupt elected officials. Some of his best known cases include the groundbreaking Mafia prosecutions in the "Pizza Connection" and "The Commission" cases, Wall Street corruption cases, and the convictions of corrupt political figures. His work as the U. S. Attorney earned him a lot of publicity which served him well when he later ran for office.

Giuliani ran against Democrat David Dinkins for the Mayor’s office in 1989, losing a close race. In 1993, he ran again, defeating Dinkins and, winning election as the first Republican elected Mayor of the City of New York in a generation. Campaigning on the slogan "One City, One Standard," he goals included reducing crime, reforming welfare, and improving the quality of life in the city. In 1997, he was re-elected with nearly 60% of the vote in a city largely Democratic city.

As Mayor, Giuliani became known as a strong advocate for law enforcement, which earned him many supporters nationwide, but also led to controversy over alleged police abuses during his administration. Due to term limits, Giuliani could not run for a third term, and when the New York City mayoral primary elections began on the morning of September 11, 2001, Giuliani was not a candidate.

That morning, September 11, cemented Giuliani’s name and reputation in history. As the mayor during the terrorist attacks, Rudy Giuliani reacted with strong leadership and a calm demeanor as the towers fell and thousands of his constituents died, and the nation held its breath. In the aftermath of the attacks, many commentators and ordinary citizens began referring to him as "America’s Mayor." It is largely on the strength of the reputation built on that day and during the subsequent recovery and security efforts that Rudy Giuliani’s presidential campaign rests its hopes.

Rudy Giuliani has been married three times, has two children, one stepdaughter, and is a rabid New York Yankees fan.
