MANCHESTER, N.H.--Mitt Romney won the New Hampshire primary Tuesday, the second state in a row he has carried in his campaign for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

Romney is the first Republican, not including incumbent presidents, to win both the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary since Iowa Republicans began holding their first-in-the-nation caucuses in 1976.

Ron Paul came in second; Jon Huntsman in third.

It was a start-to-finish victory for Romney in New Hampshire, who led in the polls here throughout the 2012 campaign. Romney owns a summer home in the state, which borders his home state of Massachusetts, where he served as governor from 2003 to 2007.

From here, the candidates go on to South Carolina, the first primary in the South. There, Romney's electoral dominance will not be a such a foregone conclusion....

That the three term governor of the 2nd largest state in the Union who has millions of dollars in his coffers and once led overwhelmingly, it’s almost worthy of pity that he could barely scrounge up enough votes to beat the joke candidate who got no press coverage, money, or debates, Buddy Roemer.

It’s time to go back to Austin, Rick.

Imagine what the press would be saying if Gov. Palin had only got 1% in New Hampshire.

Perry did not campaign in NH.
He got a higher percentage in Iowa that Santorum and Newt got in NH tonight.

Considering that Mitt has yet to hit a conservative state, he still has 55 states to go (according to Obama). His political popularity is still in the offing.

If the Conservative wing doesn’t rally around a SINGLE CANDIDATE, Romney is the nominee, by default.

If you want someone else, it’s time to get off our collective asses, and get out in to the real world and do something about it.

You can even phone bank from home.

Well I fail to see how Perry split this vote with 1%

That 70% of the turds have floated to the top in NH.

“I was ready to phone bank and fundraise from home for Governor Palin.”

So was I, and much, much more. So were a couple of million other people. She chose not to run. You can blame the hate-filled gay-controlled mainstream media for that.

Which leaves us at today.

NH is not reflective of the conservative electorate.
