Cruz is now pulling ahead of Bush for the 3rd spot.
This is GREAT news for Cruz supporters, since NH was easily the most hostile early state for a conservative like him.
Cruz will get a large bump from taking 3rd here.
Combined with his 1st in Iowa and a second in SC and he'll go into the SEC primaries as the clear alternative to Trump.
It'll be a two-man race.
Not saying he'd win that race, but he'd have a chance.
