CONCORD, N.H.—New Hampshire voters, pumped up and excited to make history, turned out in record numbers to cast ballots in Tuesday's first-in-the-nation presidential primary.

more stories like thisWith all 301 of New Hampshire's voting precincts reporting, unofficial tallies by The Associated Press found that 525,870 ballots were cast Tuesday, surpassing elections officials' predictions of 500,000 and breaking the previous record of 396,385 set in 2000

Preliminary numbers show 63 percent of registered voters participated in the primary. Elections officials expected as many as 50,000 new same day voter registrations, but official numbers were not available Wednesday.

1. 49,000 more ballots cast for Democrats than Republicans.
And LOTS of independents (Obama's strength) broke for Clinton. McCain won, but not with as many votes as the top two Dems (that's what I remember but the numbers aren't in front of me). REPUBLICANS ARE NOT GETTING THE VOTES.

Whoever the Democratic candidate is, WILL WIN.
