Looks like John McCain pulled it out in the late reporting precincts. Jonathan Martin has a specific explanation for why Duncan Hunter performed well.
There’s a clear gap here. I think that this tells us that Rudy Giuliani and McCain and the clear frontrunners. Mitt Romney’s 2nd-tier performance is quite shocking considering that he spent […]
The results here are wild:

H/T Granite Grok.
The Bow Picnic and Straw Poll in NH took place on the 19th. The results:

GOP side:
John McCain: 24%
Rudy Giuiliani and Condi Rice: 20%
Newt Gingrich: 10%
Dem side:
Hillary Clinton and John Edwards tied at 34%
Vilsack third.
Upshot: McCain is still the front runner. And Hillary just can’t go that high, we think.
