Fun Facts

If figures are correct and Romney spent about $10M then he spent $322.58 per vote for a projected 31,000 votes. By contrast,
Mike Huckabee spent $47.44 per vote for a projected 42,160 votes.
Democrats had an unbelievable turnout of 236,000. Republicans turned out about 114,000.
And I think I heard that Obama beat Hillary 41% to 17% among Independents. So when we start looking for someone to beat Obama, it might be good to find someone who can appeal to those voters. (McCain may not have many Independent voters who will vote in the GOP primary in NH. Could be a problem or an opportunity to show the base he is their guy and not just a "maverick.")
