about. election day in new hampshire. republicans choosing a nominee to run against president obama. democrats choosing, well, president obama. these first in the nation primaries culminate months or even years of campaigning and most of the top republicans are still at it. here s why. the last new hampshire tracking poll by suffolk university puts to rest any visions of iowa-like outcomes. mitt romney s lead is actually a few points wider than yesterday. but jon huntsman has broken out of a three-way tie for third into a virtual dead heat for second. and as of yesterday, 7% of likely voters still have not made up their minds. no need for polls in dixville notch or hartsville locations. those towns voted at midnight and the results are in. drumroll, please. dixville awarded two votes each to romney and huntsman. hart voters gave romney five votes, paul 4, huntsman 2, and gingrich and rick perry, 1 each. whatever happens elsewhere in the granite state, you ll hear it first fro
