Mitt Romney Wins New Hampshire Republican Primary

Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, has won the New Hampshire GOP primary presidential election vote, as expected, with the support of more than one-third of Republican voters who cast ballots today for multiple candidates.

With 46% of the results tallied, Romney appears to be on pace to finish with the backing of 37 percent of Republicans in the Granite State, the first to cast ballots in the race to replace pro-abortion President Barack Obama. His primary election victory in the traditional second state comes one week after he eked out a narrow 8-vote victory in the Iowa caucuses last Tuesday. The victory makes Romney the first Republican since1976 to win both the Iowa and New Hampshire contests and he is the fist non-incumbent Republican to do so.

Congressman Ron Paul appears headed to a finish of second place with the support of 24 percent of New Hampshire voters after placing third in Iowa. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, who came in last place in Iowa after choosing not to compete there, should finish third with the support of 17 percent. Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, will likely place fourth in New Hampshire with the support of 10 percent after also coming in fourth place in Iowa. Following his surprise second place finish in Iowa, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum is expected to come in fifth place, with 10 percent, in the state has that fewer socially conservative pro-life voters. Rick Perry, the Texas governor, largely did not compete in New Hampshire after coming in fifth place in Iowa and he is hoping South Carolina, which votes next, will give him the ability to get back in the race. He finished last with the support of 1 percent of the vote. Ref. Source 6
