Live Blog-New Hampshire Primary. McCain and Hillary win

January 8th, 2008 Rob

They are running out of Democratic ballots in certain areas of the state. Sounds like a Hillary smackdown in the making. This may be good news for Romney as McCain is counting on a lot of independents casting Republican ballots.

HotAir has a story up on how Hillary may sit out SC and Nevada at this point and setup a “Anybody but Obama” 527 group.

~~

If Hillary loses by ^20 points it is going to be devastating to her campaign. Howard Dean 2004 anyone?

The only thing certain so far is that Obama will beat Hillary, the question is by how much. Sounds like McCain has a slight lead on Romney.
