Here's a LIVE THREAD for the NH Primary results this evening.
We will know soon enough and we can keep track it right here.
How quick will they call it? I expect between 7:30 and 8 PM the race will be called in NH tonight.
CNN poll 2/3 of late deciders influenced by last debate.. That would imply an owie for Rubio.
I don’t think there’s a feud.
Honestly - I would be astounded but relieved if such were the outcome. Let’s hope it goes that way ... But, I believe both men have substantial “egos” - and that is not necessarily a bad thing, especially in the present national circumstances.
Kasich is even more liberal than Trump or Bush. But I guess his popularity is to be expected in liberal New Hampshire.
I can understand why some establishment Republican voters might support Rubio, he is young can spew all the touchy, feeling talking points. Ditto with Jeb, he has the name recognition and is as establishment as you can get. But Kasich?!? Kasich doesn't have anything going for him, he's not young, he's an average public speaker and looks like a raging alcoholic on the debate stage, he's not really well know, and he's as bland as they come. I kind of look at a Kasich vote as a vote for "none of the above" he is just kind of there....
Ted Cruz and Donald Trump to meet Wednesday in New York
WA PO

The fix has been in since July. Wow. If true, imagine.
“Normally you would be correct.
Current polling gives Cruz a 4 pt lead over Trump in TX”
Good news for Trump fans. I think Trump has only made like one appearance in Texas. WooooHooo. GO TRUMP GO
I would REALLY like a 31 or 32% but I will take 29%!!!! the talking points will be HE just can’t seem to break that 25-29% percent threshold !!!! I can hear it all now BLA, BLA, BLA!!!!!!!
Cruz will be lucky if he takes a distant 2nd place tonight.
2-1 new voters for Trump. Record turnout. Delicious.
NH is heavily French Canadian Catholic.

Cruz has improved his tailoring, thank goodness.
“If Trump wins, and wins decisively, I am NOT going to rub it in the face of Cruzâ supporters, as much as they have it coming ... Yes, Iâll be happy for his win - and that is good enough. HOWEVER, that does not mean I will be a punching bag if any Cruz supporters resort to a crapfest on Trump.”
And that’s fair. That’s what we all should abide by.
Republican voters in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary are much more negative about their politicians than Democrats are about theirs, according to early results of the exit poll conducted by Edison Research for the Associated Press and television networks. Half of Republicans said they feel betrayed by politicians from the Republican Party, while fewer than 2 in 10 Democrats say they feel betrayed by Democratic politicians.
Three in 10 Republican voters said the economy was the most important issue facing the country, similar to the percentages saying government spending and terrorism.
Three in 10 Democratic primary voters said the economy was the most important issue facing the country, while a similar share said income equality was most important.
The survey was conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks by Edison Research as voters left their polling places at 44 randomly selected sites in New Hampshire. Preliminary results include interviews with 1434 Democratic primary voters and 1257 Republican primary voters and have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
“CNN poll 2/3 of late deciders influenced by last debate.. That would imply an owie for Rubio.”
No wonder Rush was going all out to try and repair the self inflected damage Rubio did to himself.
That’s not vastly different from his pre-voting poll numbers.
Cruz is surrendering.
I think both those guys are mature enough to play hard but shake hands when the game is done. It’s their supporters I worry about. The supporters get ugly - to the point that I don’t even want to hear from any of them. That’s the part that sickens me about the whole process.
I think I better open up a bottle of JD - and I am not a whiskey drinker!
