One thing happens when you win a contest as decisively as Mitt Romney is projected to do tonight in New Hampshire: You run up impressive numbers across the board.
And maybe the biggest early takeaway from Romney's performance in New Hampshire, according to the exit polls, is his stronger showing among conservative voters.
Just like the crosstabs from last week's NBC/Marist poll foreshadowed, Romney performed much better among conservatives, Tea Party supporters, and evangelicals than he did in Iowa.
For instance, Romney leads Rick Santorum among "very conservative" GOP primary voters, 30%-29%. But last week in Iowa, Romney only got 14% of the very conservative vote (compared with Santorum's 35% in the Hawkeye State.
Among evangelicals, Romney gets support from 27% of them (versus Santorum's 26%). Last week? He only got 14% from self-described evangelicals.
And among Tea Party supporters, Romney gets support from 37% of them, according to the exits -- another improvement for the Massachusetts governor.
(All that said, Romney's "very conservative" support in New Hampshire was higher in '08, at 43%.)

The auctioning of the USA begins ...sold to the highest bidder ! This is not the beginning of an election ... its and auction !
And the highest bidder is..... " I like to fire people" Romney !
......and the Obama checkbook will be able to draft a billion dollar note
... and tack on another billion from the GOP ... should create some jobs ... it's the only time when trickle down works.

This bad boy maybe over before the end of February as I had first stated two months ago
Yeah, Mitt is a regular champion for conservatives now, huh.
Which just goes to prove the word "conservative" means nothing anymore. It's a living definition as in it can be spun to mean whatever anyone wants it to mean.
Conservative means anyone with money. They probably had to penny-pinch to get great wealth. If you notice, most people with money are very tight and selfish. They always take care of themselves before thinking of others.
"Romulian Romney" will never ever release his tax records America. His very "Slick" accountants at Bain Capital have the "Romulian's tax records buried so deep. That a person would need an army of miners digging to find them. That is fact! The "Romulian" will never release his Bain Capital orders to destroy corporations. He will never release his records showing his "Raiding" of workers health care benefits. The "Romulian" will never release his Bain Capital records showing the workers pensions he "Economically Raided." Where did all the pension money go that the "Vain Romulian" raided?? DId the "Romulian" ever pay taxws on this money he stole?? Where has the "Romulian" hidden his money?? Off Shore Accounts perhaps? Is has it been invested by Bain Capital in outsourced Corporations?? How did the "Romulian" manipulate the huge corporation tax loop holes?? Is America asking these questions of the "Romulian" yet?? I truely hope so!!
