New Hampshire Primary Winners: Clinton & McCain

08:36 H | Topics: Politics

t1home.clint.mcin.wed.02.ap.jpgIn what much of the media is calling a comeback this morning, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and John McCain won their respective party primaries in New Hampshire yesterday. The media and pundits are citing two main factors in yesterday's wins: women and youth. Women in the New England state rallied behind the former first lady in a way that wasn't seen in Iowa. The youth vote that helped push Obama's win didn't pan out as well this time.

With 91 percent of the electoral precincts reporting, Mrs. Clinton had 39 percent of the vote, Mr. Obama 36 percent, and John Edwards 17 percent. On the Republican side, Mr. McCain had 37 percent, Mr. Romney 32 percent and Mike Huckabee 11 percent.
