New Hampshire - Live Free or Die, they chose death.

Death, from unending illegal immigration by voting for McCain. Death, from abortion on demand by voting for Romney. Death, from endless tax hikes and religious zealotry by voting for Huckabee. Death, from government intrusions into your life by voting for Rudy. Death for every soldier in Iraq, by refusing to vote for peace-maker Dr. Ron Paul.
New Hampshire’s slogan must now be rescinded, they chose death. Ron Paul received less support there (9%) than in Iowa (10%).
Does the Revolution end here? Let’s examine the numbers and set aside Ron Paul’s exclusion from the Fox debate, the constant censorship of him in all media, his missing name in the CNN pie chart and the vicious attacks by yellow journalists a night before the election.
The results, so far:
Mitt Romney, 29,949 votes in Iowa and 73,806 in New Hampshire for a total of 103,755 votes.
John McCain, 15,559 votes in Iowa and 86,802 in New Hampshire for a total of 102,361 votes.
Mike Huckabee, 40,841 votes in Iowa and 26,035 in New Hampshire for a total of 66,876 votes.
Ron Paul, 11,817 votes in Iowa and 17,831 in New Hampshire for a total of 29,648 votes.
Rudy Guiliani 4,097 votes in Iowa and 20,054 in New Hampshire for a total of 24,151 votes.
Fred Thompson, 15,904 votes in Iowa and 2,808 in New Hampshire for a total of 18,712 votes.
Duncan Hunter, 524 votes in Iowa and 1,195 votes in New Hampshire for a total of 1,719 votes.
By total vote count, Ron Paul maintains a fourth place spot ahead of ‘top tier’ candidates Fred Thompson and Rudy Guiliani.
By percentage of total vote:
Mitt Romney 29.8%
John McCain 29.4%
Mike Huckabee 19.2%
Ron Paul 8.5%
Rudy Guiliani 6.9%
Fred Thompson 5.3%
Duncan Hunter 0.5%
With 99% of the electorate left to vote in the primaries, Ron Paul is right in the middle of the pack. Clearly, and to the delight of our Founding Fathers, our well-funded, bloodless Revolution continues.
