Angry White Man  —  The bigoted past of Ron Paul.  —  If you are a critic of the Bush administration, chances are that, at some point over the past six months, Ron Paul has said something that appealed to you.  Paul describes himself as a libertarian, but, since his presidential campaign took off earlier …

Daniel Koffler / Pajamas Media:
RON PAUL BIGOTRY REVOLUTION  —  A damning New Republic expose on Ron Paul shows the “libertarian” Republican candidate to be a racist, a homophobe and an anti-Semite.  Will his diehard supporters continue to defend a man who called Martin Luther King a gay pedophile?
David Weigel / Reason Magazine:
Exclusive: Ron Paul Responds To New Republic Story  —  About an hour ago I followed Ron Paul outside the Radisson in Manchester, NH to get his response to James Kirchick's explosive New Republic piece, “Angry White Man."  The article goes through the Texas Republican's newsletters …

John McCain at 18% and Rudy Giuliani now back in fourth place at 16%.  —  Two months ago, Giuliani led the GOP race.

Numbers Show Rudy's Attempt to Win N.H.  —  Despite claims to the contrary, Giuliani's showing tonight in N.H. comes after considerable effort.  —  Though former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has generally attributed his poor showing in New Hampshire to a campaign strategy that focuses on larger …

HILLARY CLINTON, JOHN MCCAIN WIN NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY  —  Hillary Clinton won the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary Tuesday, edging out rival Barack Obama by a few points, even after the campaign itself had been girding for a second consecutive defeat earlier in the day.
Discussion: Rasmussen Reports
Jennifer Parker / Political Radar:
New Hampshire Turnout ‘Absolutely Huge’  —  ABC News' Karen Travers Reports: New Hampshire Deputy Secretary of State Dave Scanlan told ABC News that turnout among primary voters today is “absolutely huge” — and there are concerns about running out of ballots in towns like Portsmouth, Keene, Hudson and Pelham.

Maggie Williams to Join Clinton Effort  —  Even before the polls close in New Hampshire comes word of changes at the top of the Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (N.Y.) presidential campaign.  —  Maggie Williams, a longtime Hillary Clinton confidante, is reportedly being brought on to coordinate the campaign's activities.

LOOKING FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE EXIT POLLS?  —  Looking for leaked exit poll results from New Hampshire?  Sorry to disappoint, but whatever their merits, we are unlikely to see any such leaked results until moments before the polls close.  —  In past years, the network consortium that conducts …

J-Walking:
Race, Polls, Obama  —  It now seems pretty clear that virtually all of the late polling on the Democratic side was wrong... very wrong.  The last Rasmussen Report had Obama +7 over Clinton.  CBS had him +7.  USA Today had Obama +13 and CNN +10.  —  With more than 25% of New Hampshire now reporting Obama is -5.

Kevin Drum / Washington Monthly:
HILLARY'S WIN....I have several reasons for being pleased with the results of tonight's Democratic primary:  — I've made three electoral predictions so far: that the eventual candidates would be Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton and that Iowa would turn out not to be as important as everyone thought.

Matthew Yglesias:   Clinton Comeback  —  Obviously, polls predicting a big Obama win in NH were wrong.
The Corner:
South Carolina  —  It will be interesting to see how a Huckabee-McCain fight will play out in South Carolina.  Will Huckabee—despite being so outraged by attacks on McCain recently—go after him hard?  Or will we begin to see the outlines of a McCain-Huckabee deal to put Huck on the ticket as VP?

John McCain / CNN:
Early exit polls: GOP feelings on Bush administration  —  Which comes closest to your feelings about the Bush administration?:  —  New Hampshire Republican primary voters  —  Enthusiastic - 10 percent  —  Satisfied, but not enthusiastic - 40 percent  —  Dissatisfied, but not angry - 33 percent
Discussion: Firedoglake
Greg Sargent / TPM Election Central:
AFSCME, Emily's List Deny Any Role In Anti-Obama 527 Scheme  —  This is interesting.  The Huffington Post had a blockbuster scoop today reporting that top independent expenditure groups backing Hillary are thinking of creating a massive anti-Obama “527 committee” to go after the Illinois Senator.
The Corner:
More Obamaland  —  The further you get from the big city, the less effective the Clinton machine seems to be.  First result from Grafton County, and it's Waterville Valley reporting: … In other words, the Hillary “revival” seems confined for the most part to Manchester and Nashua.
