Just before the polls closed, the Boston Globe noted for the Democratic side, “the early returns are almost always from Manchester, a city favorable to Clinton. Wait for the later returns.”
At 6:40 this evening, the Globe also wrote, “Very, very tight. Mitt Romney still has a chance given that many of the polls that close at 8pm are in Romney’s strongest towns.”
UPDATE: If these figures hold, I wonder if Hillary will make an inverse of the argument I expected to hear from Romney in the future – “I’m the choice of registered Democrats, and Democrats ought to pick the Democratic nominee.”
Obama won independents, getting nearly 50% of their votes. Independents comprised about 41% of the Democratic primary vote. But Hillary Clinton won among registered Democrats: 38% to 32%.
