Mitt Romney sets up shop in New Hampshire, where he will be campaigning up until primary day...

New Hampshire, you have a key part in this primary process. The candidate you choose in a couple months could very well likely be the Republican nominee. I've spent years in the private sector, and I know what needs to be done to get this economy back on track: smart, conservative decisions. Let's cut our national deficit, create more private sector jobs, and make the government smaller. The people should be running the government, not vice-versa. I promise you all, that as President, I will do everything in my part to implement smart, conservative principles to our economic policy.

At a rally in Concord, Mitt Romney is endorsed by AG Kelly Ayotte. Senator's Sununu and Gregg are at hand...

America can only stay a great nation if we have great leaders! Mitt Romney is a great leader, and will be a great President. I ask all of you to give your vote to Mitt Romney. Give your vote to a man who will fight for you, not the special interests!

Mike Huckabee appears in Manchester, New Hampshire.

"In response to the recent attacks by Romney and Tancredo, I'd like to point out that the overall crime rate in Arkansas was decreased by 3.9% during my administration. And in a 2006 poll by the University of Arkansas shortly before I left office, 16% felt that the most important issues in Arkansas were drugs and crime, down from 30% in a similar poll in 2000. I'm also a supporter of the death penalty, and I've actually been criticized for carrying it out more than any other Arkansas governor. That doesn't mean I don't have any conscience about it, and there my opponents are correct. But, I haven't let that get the better of me in doing my duty.

Mistakes were made, yes, and I'm not afraid to be honest about that. Nevertheless, I think the picture being painted by my opponents is a misleading one.

Senator's John Sununu and Judd Gregg, as well as AG Kelly Ayotte spend election day touring the state of New Hampshire. Mitt Romney has made several stops throughout the state, and is planning on flying directly to Michigan after the results are reported.

Ask yourself when voting which candidate will fight for you more, the taxpayer. Will it be the man who raised taxes over 87 times as Arkansas' Governor? No, my friends, it won't. It'll be the man who saved the Salt Lake City Olympics and put the state of Massachusetts on track economically. That man is Willard "Mitt" Romney!

Mitt Romney addresses a packed audience at a local high school gym in Concord, New Hampshire...

Friends, Republicans, we did it! Today, voters from all across the state of New Hampshire came together as one, and we have seen our biggest victory yet! Thank you all, so much. It means the world to Anne and I. Next, on to Michigan, Nevada, South Carolina, and the White House! Common sense conservatism can win out, and it shows tonight. Thank you, and God Bless!

"We wish to congratulate former Governor Romney, for his victory in New Hampshire, as well as Representative Tancredo on his performance. However, the race is still by no means over, and we intend to continue campaigning until someone emerges with the 1,191 delegates needed to win."

"My friends, I'm endorsing Mike Huckabee for president because he's the best choice for Republicans and for the country. He's the most qualified candidate in the race, and I'm certain that he will make a fine president. I ask all of you to vote for him on January 15."

Mitt Romney campaigns heavily in Michigan with Pete Hoekstra and John Engler...

Friends, I am confident we can win Michigan! Michigans know the success of a Romney's economic policies from my father, and I can promise that I will implement many of those same policies as President of the United State! Let's take America back from the government and give it back to the people, like how our founding fathers wanted. Thank you, and God Bless!

I'd like to congratulate Governor Huckabee for his surprising win Michigan, as well as a win in South Carolina. I'd also like to congratulate Tancredo on his impressive showings.

I am confident that we will win Florida, and I am confident we will win this nomination. More and more Americans are believing in our message of hope and change, not a message of  higher taxes and weakness on crime and immigration. I believe in the American dream, and I hope to implement policies that can make others dreams become a reality.

Charlie Crist electrifies a crowd in Tampa Bay for Romney...

Mitt Romney...a man of character, integrity, and honesty. I know, you all know, that Mitt Romney has the capablitity of becoming one of the greatest Presidents he's ever seen! Right now, America doesn't need a leader who is soft on key issues like immigration and crime. We need someone who will stand up for everyday Americans, and that candidate is clearly Mitt Romney! John me, and let's give Romney a huge win in Florida!
- Charlie Crist

Mitt Romney has planned appearances in Tampa Bay, Miami, and Jacksonville for the day...

This is CNN...

There are several sources reporting that the Romney camp is considering challenging the results in Michigan and asking for a recount. Romney previously lost Michigan by .01%, which is close enough for his campaign to ask for a recount. The Romney camp was not reached for comment.

Mitt Romney gives a speech in Tampa, Florida, focusing on social security...

Social security is in dire need of reform right now. The only way we will be able to achieve this reform is for both parties to work together and not let things get out of control. I love senior citizens, heck, I'm one myself! Protecting your rights will be one of my top goals if I am privileged to serve as your President. I will be a friend, and I will not let you down.
