EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTES: FIRST IN THE NATION 2000 PRIMARY
The Democrats
John McCain 38.5% [X]
Elizabeth Dole 27.4%
Dan Quayle 27.1%
Jack Kemp 5.0%
REST - 2% dropped out after Iowa.
What a night! Granite State voters looked at Iowa Caucus results and laughed--thrusting the primaries into full throttle competition mode.
For the Democrats, frontrunner Ann Richards was upset by Gen. Wes Clark who surged to a first place finish with the support of independent men who broke for Clark with 50% of the vote, to Kerry and Richards' 16% each. Sen. John Kerry and former Rep. Dick Gephardt have dropped out of the primary, leaving the race between Vice President Richards and Gen. Clark.
The next primaries will be Delaware and Washington state.
For the Republicans, Sen. John McCain similarly surged to first place with the help of independent men. Vice President Dan Quayle fell to an embarrassing third place, just behind former Sec. Elizabeth Dole, the Iowa Cacuses winner. Jack Kemp has dropped out. The rest of the GOP primary will consist of Sec. Dole, Vice President Quayle, and Sen. McCain.
The next primaries will be Delaware and South Carolina.
STAY TUNED FOR PRIMARY ANALYSIS
