Here is the latest, courtesy of Drudgereport.com: 8.97% IN: OBAMA 36; CLINTON 38; EDWARDS 17; RICHARDSON 4; KUCINICH 2... 8.97% IN: MCCAIN 37; ROMNEY 28; HUCKABEE 12; PAUL 8; GIULIANI 9; THOMPSON 1...
Eh, for some of the smaller precincts, everyone who is going to vote already has. They probably got a head start on counting the ballots.
I guess maybe some closed at 7? I don't know. The most surprising thing about the early #s is Clinton in front of Obama. But the #s are too early to know... It's already looking like a *really* disappointing day for Ron Paul supporters, I hope these #s dont stick... but my gut isn't too pleased.
Well it is certainly too early too tell because whoever has reported, it is a very small percentage of the total. As for your gut, thats another story...
Some towns voted at midnight (there was a previous thread about this if I remember correctly), and therefore the precincts were able to start counting early. Thats my best guess anyway.
New update: again, courtesy drudge: 10.63% IN: OBAMA 36; CLINTON 38; EDWARDS 17; RICHARDSON 4; KUCINICH 2... 10.29% IN: MCCAIN 37; ROMNEY 28; HUCKABEE 12; GIULIANI 9; PAUL 8; THOMPSON 1...
How do you figure? ATM he's neck and neck for possible 4th place. Of course everyone wants more, the worst thing, the thing that will sink any chance is giving up and being disappointed
Yes well... 4th would be better than 5th. That much is true But NH seems like the golden opportunity... And a lot of time and resources went into making it happen there. Hopefully these early returns are not too indicative of the overall results. It's sad to me to see so many people voting for McCain and the like. I just don't get it. People aren't paying attention. That's what's so disheartening to me.
CNN's latest: Republicans 10% reporting: McCain 7,575 37% Romney 5,694 28% Huckabee 2,485 12% Giuliani 1,828 9% Paul 1,729 9% Thompson 291 1% Hunter 125 1% Democrats 11% reporting: Clinton 13,011 39% Obama 12,150 36% Edwards 5,655 17% Richardson 1,436 4% Kucinich 639 2% Biden 58 0% Gravel 48 0% Dodd 28 0%
There are 10% of precincts reporting, plus most of these are the smaller precincts that got done counting early, so it's way too hard to guess results right now. The New Hampshire government was estimating 500,000 people turning out today, so right now, we are at about 7% reporting, population wise.
Apparently McCain has just been declared the winner, although they are at less than 15% reporting. This has to be crushing for Romney.
IM still here and happy about it so far. Of course i have a more long term pragmatic approach to this. Like i hae been saying for so long on here, all the american people need here is 4 more years of another puppet president and teh american people will come running in droves to ron paul., but im also not giving here as its way too early.
Wow, calling the race at 10% reporting is very ballsy. Granted, Drudge does like to brag about being the first one to call things, so I'm surprised. I mean numbers seem to show it, but declaring it is still taking a risk.
