The Race Changing Primary

On January 8th the New Hampshire primary was held, here is a brief recap:

Candidate	%	Votes	Difference	Delegates
Clinton	39%	112,238	*	9
Obama	36%	104,757	-7,481	9

Gravel	0%	402	*	0
Dodd	0%	202	*	0

• In a surprising comeback Hilary Clinton took the democratic primary by nearly 7,000 votes.
• Obama, who was Iowa's winner, was expected to take the state.
• This was no doubt a race saving win for our crying Hilary who apparently thought she might have to drop out.
  
• After another humiliating defeat democrat candidate Bill Richardson has opted to drop out of the race
• In more recent news former Democrat candidate John Kerry has decided to back Obama
  

Candidate	%	Votes	Difference	Delegates
McCain	37%	88,447	*	7
Romney	31%	75,202	-13,245	4
Huckabee	11%	26,760	*	1

Paul	8%	18,276	*	0

Hunter	1%	1,220	*	0

• In the republican primary McCain won by a margin of nearly 13,000 votes.
• Iowa's winner Huckabee had a mere 11% of the vote, maybe he had his time in the spotlight and we won't see much more of Huckabee
• Thompson and Giuliani continue to do poorly in the primaries, their campaigns may be coming to an end.
