The Union Leader has a good primary wrap-up article. I was particularly interested in this point:

Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, sagging to fifth place, rejected advice from some advisers to abandon his bid.

I guess it’s those advisers who told Drudge he would suspend his campaign. One wonders if they will eventually bring their candidate back to his senses… or at least help him with his math. Anyway…

With 87 percent of the precincts reporting, Kerry had 39 percent, Dean had 26 percent, Clark 13 percent, Edwards 12 percent, and Lieberman 9 percent.

Dean, the former five-term governor of Vermont who finished third in Iowa, lost New Hampshire by double digits — less than he needed for a complete rebound or to erase doubts about his viability.

He did manage about twice as many votes as either Edwards or Clark, and found solace in gaining a bit of ground since his disastrous Iowa finish and shrill election-night address.

Dean kept his emotions in check Tuesday night, telling supporters, “The people of New Hampshire have allowed all of you to hope again that we’re going to have real change in America.”

Edwards, who finished a surprise second in Iowa, said his double-digit finish is an improvement over his standing in polls before Iowa. He’s staking his candidacy on South Carolina, a centerpiece of next week’s contests. “Beyond South Carolina, I don’t want to make any predictions,” he said.

Ignoring his fifth-place showing, Lieberman declared, “We’re in a three-way split decision” and pointed his ragged campaign toward South Carolina, Delaware and Oklahoma.

Looking toward next week, Dean insisted he will “play to win in every single state,” overruling aides who urged a more cautious approach. The former Vermont governor plans to compete in South Carolina, Missouri, New Mexico and Arizona, which holds contests next Tuesday; Michigan and Washington state four days later; and Wisconsin, with its contest Feb. 17.

Several Dean advisers had urged him to pick fewer targets, cherrypicking states to conserve resources, but he vetoed the strategy, insisting that his campaign was muscular enough to compete nationally.

Dean has raised more than $200,000 in the 24 hours before the primary, but he has been spending money just as fast as raising it — and he will keep up the pricey pace with his new strategy.

Kerry also pledged to compete everywhere, but his twin victories should fuel the drive.

An AP analysis of the delegate count showed Kerry winning 14 delegates and Dean capturing eight, while Edwards and Clark appeared to finish below the 15 percent vote threshold needed to win any delegates.
