New Hampshire Primary, January 10

10 mins and counting down!. This is going to be interesting to see how the MSM tries to spin this. Though I already know whats going to happen I rather see it and laugh. Get ready for another MSM extravaganza.

I think Romney is going to win for sure...just waiting to see by how much.

I've heard lots of talk about Huntsman possibly taking 2nd away from Paul...but either way I think 2nd and 3rd place will be really close.

4th place and under...do we really care?

not directly but if someone drops out because they can't get enough votes it'll be interesting to see how there spread around in the next few states

The only one that I think may drop out is Huntsman if he places 4th or below.

Gingrich is pissed off and is going to stay in it to the end. Ron Paul will go to the end. Perry and Santorum really aren't really looking to do much here in NH.

2nd place tonight would be great for Ron Paul.

I should have given a third read to the percentage points shown in the table at NPR. Those are the total votes and percentages based on the two small communities that voted first (a total of 19 people voted)! They were counted because there really was no purpose to delaying the tally.

Sheesh!

You're following this closely, OKS, who you going to vote for?

Obama of course

But I love politics...it's like a big game of live-action chess.

According to Google, these are the results with 1% of precincts reporting in.

Mitt Romney 7 36.8%
Ron Paul 5 26.3%
Jon Huntsman 4 21.1%
Newt Gingrich 2 10.5%
Rick Perry 1 5.3%

Not sure how official these are, as the official NH primary website seems to be unavailable?

Well lets see for one thing Dana Bash is reporting from the Ron Paul HQ, I mean why wouldn't she??

Also Huntsman will most likely make a surprise photo finish like Santorum did in Iowa.

And the MSM will spin a lot of things out of context in general, but only you can see and witness it for yourself.

This banner just appeared on CNN.com: "Most polls have closed in New Hampshire, home of the first primary in the 2012 presidential race. "

So who knows what's going on.

You sound quite pleased with Obama's performance. Seen this thread, yet:

I'm sorry to say bro, Obama pulled a fast one on us.


At some point you just got to accept it....

Yep. The same numbers I reported -- it's the two tiny communities with a total of 19 registered voters. Some of the polls are closed now -- others will remain open for another 45 minutes.

Interesting factlet from the NPR blog:

Debates matter: Early exit polls show that 82 percent of GOP voters surveyed said "debates were important to their vote," Pew Research's Michael Dimock reports

You can follow the results here (the graphic on the right)
