Has any candidate ever won NH but not gotten the nomination?

Absolutely. Senator Paul Tsongas won the (Democrat) NH primary in 1992, but Bill Clinton got the nomination. Pat Buchanan won the Republican primary in 1996, but Bob Dole got the nomination.

I'm not sure that's comforting. The point is that the race is not anywhere near over - especially this year.

I realize that SC is the key to the nomination historically. Let’s see what happens, I don’t want to be too hasty, but things are looking like they are looking :(

Pat Buchanan scored an upset win in New Hampshire’s 1996 primary
