Yahoo News: New Hampshire primary

Here's a look at some of the great stories our political team has produced around the first-in-the-nation primary. We'll be updating throughout the night.

  1. After Romney win announced, band at Newt party played "Orange Colored Sky." "Flash, bam, alacazam..." #FITN
  2. RT @jamiedupree: In 1996, Bill Clinton received 84.3% of the vote in the New Hampshire Primary; Barack Obama at 76% right now
  3. Romney got 731 votes in Manchester Ward 1 in 2008. Tonight raw vote count read on CNN there had him at 927.
  4. Romney camp ran out of press riser credentials so to get into the room tonight I have to wear a "volunteer" pass instagr.am/p/gFGax/
  5. Great photo from Flickr user Patrick Gensel of the Dixville primary results. Submitted to the 2012 Election group:
  6. Traffic in downtown Manchester right now is worse than LA #nightmareonelmstreet
  7. Paul comes to Romney's defense and says Santorum/Huntsman/Gingrich are using language of liberal left and playing along w/ media elites
  8. Throughout the day we're updating our "Scenes from New Hampshire piece" with gems like this one from Holly Bailey:

    'This is why I told you Iowa was shit!' he declared. 'New Hampshire is where it's at!'"

  9. And yes, we know the internet loves pictures. We're updating the below slideshow with pictures from our reporters and from the Election 2012 Flickr group.
  10. Chris Moody hit the road with Jon Huntsman's ground team yesterday. The great dane was friendly, but his owner remained unconvinced. "I'm just looking for who can beat Obama"
  11. Any of us will tell you that senior political reporter Holly Bailey is the most skilled photographer among us:
