So Rubio's in at least 5th among indies.

Ouch...

[Mike Thick]

Watching CNN, and they said that the primary ballots are colored pink for Dems and blue for GOPers. Finally, someone off this site gets it right.

No, they said blue for Dems and pink for Republicans

I need to pay closer attention to these things, but (more importantly) they need to get their colors straight

GILMORE IS SPOTTED ON MSNBC

But of course. He's putting his resources into New Hampshire, as he so eloquently stated in the last debate.

[Mike Thick]

Wow. I had a feeling Rubio would dip after that gaffe, but I had no idea he would fall to fourth or even fifth...

[Mike Thick]

If Rubio tanks tonight, I expect a Bush comeback

I can't imagine that. Jeb! has such miserable favorability ratings even among republicans, I can't imagine his campaign getting going again. He's already blown $100m or so, and that's gotten him to like 4% in the polls.

Yeah. An establishment rally around Bush is probably one of the stupidest things they could do.

[Mike Thick]

Man, Trump by 20 with Cruz in second? I really hope that's inaccurate...

[Mike Thick]

Donald Trump 925 votes (--) 53.7%
 Jeb Bush 190 votes (-735) 11.0%
 Marco Rubio 166 votes (-759) 9.6%
 Ted Cruz 164 votes (-761) 9.5%
 John Kasich 113 votes (-812) 6.6%
 Chris Christie 105 votes (-820) 6.1%
 Ben Carson 31 votes (-894) 1.8%
 Carly Fiorina 28 votes (-897) 1.6%
 Other 1 votes (-924) 0.1%
 Jim Gilmore 0 votes (-925)

I'm sorry, what is this?

[Mike Thick]

Ah, thank you.

[Mike Thick]

If the final results are anything close to that...

...it's all over.

[Mike Thick]

CNN reports Bernie ahead 734-482

[Mike Thick]

Did anyone expect late-breakers to be, apparently, going to Trump this hard?

I thought they would break for Kasich, but apparently they're flocking to Trump. This has the potential to be really big for Trump.

[Mike Thick]

Unfortunately the votes just don't seem to be there for Kasich. This is looking like a blowout at the moment.

It's still very early. It has the potential to tighten at least a bit, to a comfortable or even modest/narrow Trump win instead of a 30 point landslide.

[Mike Thick]

CNN results have Christie/Rubio fighting for 5th/6th

Well, Rubio sure flamed out quick.

[Mike Thick]

Donald Trump 5,822 votes (--) 31.9%
 John Kasich 3,383 votes (-2,439) 18.5%
 Jeb Bush 2,288 votes (-3,534) 12.5%
 Ted Cruz 1,972 votes (-3,850) 10.8%
 Marco Rubio 1,870 votes (-3,952) 10.2%
 Chris Christie 1,437 votes (-4,385) 7.9%
 Carly Fiorina 834 votes (-4,988) 4.6%
 Ben Carson 435 votes (-5,387) 2.4%
 Other 202 votes (-5,620) 1.1%
 Jim Gilmore 6 votes (-5,816)

Six glorious victories for Jimmy Gil!!!

[Mike Thick]

Seems as if the Cruz win in Iowa was an exagerated win. He is diminishig in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire is really a poor fit for him, so he hasn't put in a lot of work. He's looking ahead to South Carolina, where he has the potential to do quite well.

[Mike Thick]

Will this get called at the top of the hour?

Fox is hinting they will call both races at 8

That was quick

[Mike Thick]

It was over so fast Atlas didn't even have time to crash...

[Mike Thick]

Let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that Marco Rubio knows what he's doing. Marco Rubio has no idea what he's doing.

[Mike Thick]

How many GOP victory speeches? Trump because he actually won. Kasich for surprise second and being top of Establishment bracket. Bush for coming back from dead to 3rd. Cruz for again beating Rubio, who was seen his main future opponent.  


And maybe Rubio will declare victory like he did in IA and channel Joe Lieberman, claiming a "three way tie for third place".  

And then Christie can claim victory for destroying Rubio.

Don't forget Gilmore! He's won several times this primary.

A total of twenty-six. Fourteen in New Hampshire -- clearly, his investments are paying off big time.

[Mike Thick]

Well, Cruz has topped Bush for third. It's only by fifteen votes on CNN, but still.

Decision desk has him up 97

[Mike Thick]

Nice to see Randy beating out Jim Gilmore. It's a pretty nice consolation prize on an otherwise crappy night.

[Mike Thick]

Jim Gilmore is currently being beaten by people named "Brooks Cullison," "Andy Martin," "Joe Robinson," and "Richard Witz," as well as Huckabee, Santorum, and Paul.

TBH I'm kind of starting to agree with the news networks that he shouldn't be considered a major candidate.

BUT HE WAS GOVERNOR ON 9/11!!!!!!!!!11!1!!!
