New Hampshire Primary

The New Hampshire victories for John McCain and Hillary Clinton may be yesterday’s news it’s a new post for the blog. Republican candidate John McCain made a surprising leap ahead of Mitt Romney and Iowa Caucus winner Mike Huckabee. McCain’s win over Romney comes as a surprise as it had been believed that New Hampshire voters were leaning towards Romney. The Fox News Network hosted the Republican Forum on Sunday evening, and afterwards gathered some feedback from a group of viewing voters. When one woman was asked about whether or not she supported Mike Huckabee she responded by saying she was voting for a president and not a pastor. This raises the question as to whether or not Huckabee can gain enough support from voters who are not for him because of his religious background.

It would seem that on the Democratic side that Hillary’s tears won her enough votes to beat Iowa winner Barack Obama. But there are actually three possible reasons as to why Hillary won the primary.



  1. Voters agree with what she says.
  2. Her misty eyes won support.
  3. A vote for Hillary is a vote for Bill.
And following the second stop on the campaign trail this Election Year, Democratic candidate Gov. Bill Richardson announced his withdrawal from the race. But while Richardson has yet to announce his endorsement for another candidate, former presidential runner John Kerry announced his endorsement for Obama.

And that’s the report on the New Hampshire Primary.
