Post your predictions and reactions here! The expectation game: Romney’s hoping to break 40%, Huntsman and Paul are jockeying for second, and Santorum could lose momentum if he fails to beat Gingrich (and vice versa). As for Rick Perry, if he beats anyone, it’ll be a surprise.

The back field is looking to S.C. The purity test has proven itself to fracture the GOP and make the tea party irrelevant.

Media is calling it as Romney in first, Paul in second, Huntsman in third, with a tight race between Gingrich and Santorum for fourth.
Comment by MJ on 10 January 2012 at 8:52 pm:
Romney should be taking over 40% of the vote. This could be spun as Ron Paul’s “Clean Gene McCarthy” moment.

What was the turnout (percentage-wise)?
Comment by MJ on 10 January 2012 at 9:22 pm:
Results for Coos County are interesting:
Romney – 14.6%
Paul – 14.1%
Huntsman – 7.4%
gingrich – 7.2%
Others – 56.7%
Coos County is the northernmost county in NH.

Ron Paul sounds like a paranoid, doddering old fool! I seriously think he exhibits symptoms of dementia.
Comment by MJ on 10 January 2012 at 10:05 pm:
Paul is now winning Coos County with about 30% of the vote

Perry has got to be embarrassed by this result. I guess they’ll all probably stay in until SC, which is the best possible outcome for Romney. The longer it takes for the not-Romney vote to consolidate, the better for Romney. Santorum also has to be disappointed – he doesn’t have much mo from Iowa.
