New Hampshire Primary Results, McCain and Clinton Are the Winners

The much hyped New Hampshire Primaries are over and despite what CNN says I don’t find Republican Sen. John McCain and Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton big surprise winners. I wasn’t surprised at all about John McCain, as he won in NH before and he was leading in the preliminary polls. I was a little surprised about Hillary Clinton, as she supposed had a breakdown (though she did not and it may have helped her showing emotion), many of the preliminary polls said she was losing by 10+ to Barack Obama, and the press accosted her chances of winning, which does have an affect on the public, though it can backfire and may have in this incident. I suppose this does answer the question that was asked before if Hillary was going to drop out of the race, I am pretty sure that she is not exiting the race now. I was hoping some of the real underdogs ( Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, Duncan Hunter, Mike Gravel, and John Cox) would make a better showing, but they didn’t. Here are the Results.

Republican Primary:

1. John McCain- 37% - Winner

2. Mitt Romney- 32%

3. Mike Huckabee- 11%

4. Rudy Giuliani- 9%

5. Ron Paul - 8%

6. Fred Thompson- 1%

7. Duncan Hunter- 1%

8. John Cox- 1%

Democratic Primary:

1. Hillary Clinton- 39% - Winner

2. Barack Obama- 36%

3. John Edwards- 17%

4. Bill Richardson- 5%

5. Dennis Kucinich- 1%

6. Mike Gravel- 0%

This is not a complete list as there are many candidates on the ballots, and also many write-ins.
