The state is famous for its upsets, but instead of felling the front-runner it enabled Mitt Romney to stretch his lead, from a mere eight votes in last week's Iowa caucuses to a convincing 39% of the Granite State's total. He was followed by Ron Paul with 23% and Jon Huntsman with 17%. Rick Santorum failed to translate his second place in Iowa into a bounce in New Hampshire. He came in fifth with 9%, a fraction behind Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker. Rick Perry, Texas's governor, trailed with less than a single percentage point. This was neither the thrilling result the media craved nor the clarifying one the Republicans needed. Because Mr Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts running near to home, was always favoured to win, the big question before the vote on January 10th was who would emerge as his chief conservative challenger. In the event, the election gave no answer. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
