The Firsts Votes in NH: Will New Hapshire Clear the Field for Ron Paul?
Ron Paul places third in early NH voting. by jaded

An interesting clause in NH law alows small towns to vote at midnight and report their results early. So with the first 23 votes cast in the NH Republican Primaries, here's how the race stands. McCain is well ahead with 10. He is followed by Huckabee (5), Paul (4), Romney (3),and Giuliani (1). Of course this is a rediculously small sample, but if these results are indicative of the final state tally, it will mean that Paul, who is fighting it out for second between Huckabee and Romney is indisputably a top tier candidate. It also means that Romney (who needs at least a second in NH), Thompson, and Hunter are now in a lot of trouble and may start losing momentum and perhaps even drop out of the race in the next couple weeks. This would open a three way competition between Huckabee, McCain, and Paul (with the possibility that Giuliani's late support may yet materialize putting him back in the game). Whatever happens, if these results speak even the least for the state, the Revolution has definitely reached stage two.

The Ron Paul campaign needs a strong third if it is to garner any momentum going forward. No matter, this revolution has never been about Ron Paul, it is about the liberty and freedom only available to citizens by returning to true, core Constitutional programs being instilled into the government. Supporters of Dr. Paul need to prepare for consistent and long-term unification behind the message of our experiment known as a Federal Republic based on the original Constitution. We also MUST vote consistently for only those candidates that agree at the Congressional levels. There are 469 other offices we must impact beyond the primaries. We must stick together for these races and beyond. How can we accomplish this is the most pressing question in my mind...
