One Way of Looking at New Hampshire Results

State-wide vote in combined Democratic and Republican primaries

Clinton 112,238 - 21.8%
Obama 104,757 - 20.3%
McCain 88,447 - 17.1%
Romney 75,202 - 14.6%
Edwards 48,666 - 9.4%
Huckabee 26,760 - 5.2%
Giuliani 20,283 - 3.9%
Paul 18,245 - 3.5%
Richardson 13,245 - 2.6%
Kucinich 3,912 - 0.8%
Thompson 2,884 - 0.6%
Hunter 1,220 - 0.2%

A precinct or 2 still outstanding from the totals I used here, but the point is, Democratic primary voters outnumbered Republican 282,000 - 233,000 (55% - 45%). I would have thought it might be an even larger margin, but I would take a 10-point Democratic victory in New Hampshire in November. And it's pretty remarkable that our top 2 candidates both outpace the Republican winner.
