Nice user name!

I'm just grabbing my seat here to watch the results come in. Is this the "official" NH primary thread then?

Votes wont start coming in till the polls close - after 7pm EST.

Exit poll of 1,000

Romey@29%, Paul@ 27%

Though not sure if poll is credible

That video was uploaded on Jan 5th. It's not an exit poll. Would be cool tho.

I noticed that too. The exit poll I posted is the only one I can find from the 10th January, and it shows 29% Romney, 27% Paul - but I realy am not sure how authentic it is.

Sorry about that guys. Don`t know why i saw it as an exit poll.

But it still looks good for Ron Paul.

There is a buzz in the RonPaulForums CNN thred that the difference between Romney and Paul is 2%. Not sure if they have used the same source, or if it is adding weight to the exit poll posted...

I am not a big "Primary Fan". I will not listen to a Democratic state to dictate there views upon the rest of the nation...let alone myself.
I do know Mr. Santorum from being my congressman,I do like his values,which are unwavering compared to most, except Mr. Paul's views. Romney is a garbage,Republican Candidate. I will not vote for him and his liberal values.
When the primaries start with a Conservative state, then I may be swayed to vote for that Candidate.
Romney offers nothing different? If he does, I want to see it.

For a personal voting anecdote, this morning when I drove a car full of Paul voters to the polling place I pulled in behind a car covered with RP stickers.

The only people outside the polling place were a collection of 4 senior citizens holding Obama 2012 signs.

When we finished I headed to work passing another towns polling location where from the road I could see easily a dozen people holding RP signs and waving and jumping at passing cars.

that's awesome!

since RP may skip Florida... I hope the enthusiasm is 10x better there.

1 hour and 8 minutes until the polls close... cant wait!

I know we don't get to find out yet but still, I'm excited.

What time is 7 Eastern on the Prime Meridian? Is it midnight?

Edit: yes, 12:00 am UK time.

Im finally here! Of course I would eventually show up. I always love these threads where we follow the voting live. (same with the debates to).

Anyways, here's what Im thinking will happen....Romney wins by around 10%, give or take a little. Then Huntsman and Paul will be battling for 2nd place.

Everybody get your popcorn and beer
the New Hampshire caucus is finally here
only the second great fraud of the year
all because Ron Paul stokes the fear
of bought and paid for Republican queers
that intend to put Americans in tears
by throwing a Neocon into the gears
so bring your brain, your eyes and ears
we are going to get it in our collective
rears.

1757: The first exit poll results have started trickling through. The Associated Press news agency spoke to more than 1,700 New Hampshire voters and the economy was their number one concern. Ability to defeat Obama was also viewed as more important than experience or moral character.

From the BBC-

That last sentence is interesting....

on the live wire site there are people claiming the turnout of voters was unusually light.

livewire.wmur.com...

if that is the case it is bound to have aided rp as his supporters seem more likely to turn out on the whole

NPR live blog and results

Romney currently in the lead by 10 percent (with 2% of the counties reporting. He's got 36% of the vote), Paul second (26%) , Huntsman third (21%). Rick Perry, at 5 percent, probably should take this as a signal to pack up his cookies and go home, but I think he's counting on South Carolina next week to give him a boost.

only 19 votes have been counted so far, that doesn't really mean much yet.
