According to the results, it would appear as if Senator Hillary Clinton of New York benefited amongst the woman voters giving her the win in New Hampshire. While Barack Obama was banking on the surge of younger voters like he did in Iowa, it clearly was not the case in New Hampshire.
In the case of John McCain, he appealed to the independent voters in New Hampshire. However, McCain’s victory leaves no clear frontrunners for the Republican race.
The attention of both parties will be focused on Michigan, Nevada, South Carolina, and Florida. Both the Democratic and Republican candidates are focused on building momentum before over 20 states will hold polls on February 5 which is known as Super Tuesday.
According to correspondents, they say that the result in New Hampshire makes both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama tied as frontrunners. Both candidates will now fly out to Nevada. In Nevada, Barack Obama had won a crucial endorsement by the Culinary Workers Union.
South Carolina is also crucial because blacks make up over half of the Democratic primary electorate. It also looks that John Edwards might do well in the polls by splitting up the anti-Clinton vote according to BBC.
While John Edwards came in third in the New Hampshire Democratic primaries, he had reminded the supporters that there are forty-eight more states left to go.
On the Republican end of things, Mike Huckabee could rebound in South Carolina where there is a strong presence of Evangelical Christians.
