A lesser degree the same goes for donald trump. it would seem that theres so much interest in the nontraditional candidates this time around. but the republican side has a kasich, bush, rubio, cruz are all closely packed together. so it could be one of those names that emerge could challenge trumps top spot if he underperforms. and also remember one category trump lead in is the number of republican voters, at least according to our latest poll, who say they wont vote for him under any circumstances, so perhaps part of the turnout is driven by voters seeking an alternative to donald trump. one guarantee, theres a lot of interest in this election, and in a cycle unlike any other, even educated speculation amounts to little more than a guess. it is clear that the first in the nation primary state is engaged and taking their responsibility seriously. so good job, New Hampshire. back to you. tom thank you. our coverage of the first in the nation primary is just Getting Started tonight. at 6 30, david muir will host world news live outside Manchester City hall. a special edition of chronicle airs at 7 00, and well be back here at 7 30. make sure to follow the live app, happening right now. and our crews are posting live updates from all the Campaign Headquarters that youve been seeing throughout the night tonight. big night tonight. jennifer did you have to climb over a snow bank to get to your polling place . tom oh, boy, good sized crowds. mike it really dried up nicely mid morning on, so fairly pleasant on this primary day. but weve got the coldest air so far of the season on the way. tom the man serving a life sentence for killing a university of New Hampshire student will not get parole for another charge associated with that crime.
