From a story I saw, Bernie Sanders may actually be beating Gilmore as a write-in candidate. Apparently more than a few New Hampshireans (Hampshirites? Hampers?) forgot they were registered Republican and were outraged that they couldn't vote for Sanders. (NH has closed primaries).

So apparently they wrote him in as a candidate on the Republican ballot. Now what would be damn funny is if Sanders beats Carson on the GOP ticket.

Note that there are several write-in candidates getting more votes than Gilmore is at this time.

So are 6 other people, 3 of which are candidates who dropped out, the rest I've never heard of.

It would be amusing if Sanders won because Republicans who refused to vote for anyone in their party voted for him out of spite and dislike for Clinton.

Exit polls showing independents splitting roughly 3-1 for Sanders.

[smjjames]

Anybody think any of the bottom tier candidates will drop out soon afterwards? Carson is determined to continue, don't know about Christie, though I hear that NH is do-or-die for him, don't know about Fiorina either.

Bush and Cruz are neck and neck for third atm.

[RedKing]

Bush is currently ahead of Cruz by four votes. Four.

EDIT: And now Cruz is in third, ahead of Bush by 310 votes. Apparently, there's a Cult of Starry Wisdom chapter somewhere out there that got polled.

[smjjames]

Now Cruz is ahead by 137 votes as of this second, and that gap seems to be slowly widening.

Meanwhile, Chris Christie is still lurking around behind Rubio, only about 1300 votes back. If there's an enclave or two of voters who love a sweaty fat man who yells a lot, Rubio might see this turn into an utter disaster.

EDIT: Trump's lead continues to grow, up to 34.2% now. If he tops 35%, that's a pretty big victory. If he tops 40% (unlikely), that would be dare I say it....YUUUUGE.

Sander is now +21 on Clinton and that seems to continue to grow as well. Tough to spin this as any kind of victory for Hillary. So instead they'll spin it as irrelevant.

Gilmore campaigns in mysterious ways.

We're still only at around a bit over athird of the votes in, so yeah, it could shift significantly in the lower tiers.

Carly Fiorina has said she'll continue on: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/fiorina--36823294

I guess Christie could forge on if he thinks he'll make the main stage in the upcoming debate somehow.

[RedKing]

Sanders lead down to +18. Makes sense, Clinton is doing best in urban areas, and they're the slowest to report.

Rubio's cushion on Christie is now up to ~2600 votes, so 5th place seems safe for Marco at the moment. Although apparently by NH primary law, any candidates failing to draw at least 10% of the vote gets NO delegates. Rubio is currently at 10.7%

EDIT: And all of a sudden, Rubio is within 500 votes of Bush. Maybe they found a pocket of little old ladies who just love that cute cabana boy they saw in the debates.

It's always a surprise to see the candidates that are completely clueless about their odds of winning after it's obvious.

[RedKing]

I see Rand Paul is winning the write-in contest.

Well, what else does she have to do?? It's not like she has a real day job.

Make that roughly a thousand votes from Bush.
