CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won the New Hampshire primary Tuesday night, adding to a first-place finish in last week's Iowa caucuses and establishing himself as the man to beat for the Republican presidential nomination.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul led former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman for second place, with Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum trailing.

Note that the sleazebag media made sure that a “No Bain, No Gain” sign is included in the picture.

Ignore the sycophantic press. FOX and the rest of the sewer news outlets will rant on and on and on that Mitt's the one. Ignore them all.

The elite infested GOP has placed IOWA and NH at the front to weaken any Conservative's chances.

We need to hold out until the enough Southern states vote so as to send the vile Mitt back into the sewer of Statism for good.

It will help your sanity to NEVER turn on FOX. FOX is essentially Mitt's media outlet. Don't reward them with your viewership.

“They didn’t mention that Sen. John McCain’s winning percentage in the 2008 primary was 37 percent.”

And we all know how that turned out don’t we.

Hate Romney, but sadly, he is the front-runner right now.

It's up to Gingrich, Santorum, et al to make sure that changes...on to SC, FL...

No, it's up to the people. Just like the Republican Revolution, people need to get out and work for their candidate. A lot of firmly esconced Democrats were unseated then and it can be done again. Door to door, phone banks, bumper stickers, call-ins, and money will be what wins in SC.

here in FL we have a closed primary the first in the primaries and it is time for all states to do the same.

This open primary crap is allowing nutjobs and Dems etc to vote and select our candidate and the GOP sit in their massive houses with their elitist crowd looking down at the masses who think we will follow.

I got pretty - disgusted with Fox news coverage - his wife on there before his acceptance speech.

We knew it would happen, couldn't watch anymore, I have a sensitive gag reflex (just ask my dog).

Now watching Survivorman!! I can watch him eating a grub far easier than watching Romney's wife's acceptance speach

There, I fixed it for you.

In Republican Revolution there were only one conservative candidate. In these primaries the conservative vote is split among three candidates. A Romney DREAM!

Rick Perry ads have just begun running in SC so I doubt he's dropping out anytime soon.

With each win, the money increases to the winner for the next primary and begins to dry up for the 2nd and 3rd tier candidates.

It would be bad for Romney and good for us if there was only one conservative candidate from this point on.

Just saw that crazy MF McCain on FOX smarming it up for that degenerate coward scumbag Romney.

Historians will call him for what he is, the man who by capturing the GOP nomination in 2008 and refusing to run an effective campaign for POTUS, thereby putting an foreign communist in the WH, and then endorsing a weak and sure to lose candidate like Romney in 2012, is one of the greatest traitors in American History since Benedict Arnold.

That's true. Also realize that SC historically votes for the established front-runner from previous events.

Which states are 'closed' primaries, ie, only Repubs can vote for Repubicann candidates? Are they all open? Why have them then if the dems can sabatoge them? What a mess. Everyone says watch South Carolia and Florida. They have different rules? Sorry for the ignorance on all of this but never really understood this whole primary process. Better late than never. . Thanks ahead of time.

“Cements” what? does he even have 50 delegates yet? Give me a break. If he loses either S.C. or Florida, he will be broken on the rocks.
