Looks like a surprise comeback for McCain. Although its not very surprising because NH has one of the largest percent of independents in the country and McCain draws those. Although he has almost no chance of of getting the republican vote because he is seen as too far off base.
On the Democrat's side Hillary made a good comeback and is still in the race (if she didn't read it would most likely be Obama '08 because a candidate hasn't lost Iowa and NH and gone on to win in 60 years). Oh and can we please stray away from the "she only won because she showed emotion" cause I'm sick of it.
With all but one of New Hampshire's 301 voting precincts reporting, unofficial tallies by The Associated Press found that 526,571 ballots were cast Tuesday, breaking the previous record for a presidential primary of 396,385 in 2000.
Matched against New Hampshire's population of 1.3 million, an unofficial reckoning found that 40 percent of the state voted in Tuesday's primary. The springlike temperatures — 67 degrees in the southern part of the state — helped, officials said.
That is an insane and astronomical turnout. High five America!
