The most important factor to New Hampshire Republican Primary voters is finding a candidate who can win.
Regardless of how they voted, 56% of those who responded to an exit poll indicated Mitt Romney is the candidate most likely to be able to beat President Barack Obama in November.
In regard to that question, Libertarian Ron Paul, a U.S. Representative from Texas City and Lake Jackson, ran a distant second with only 15% of those polled.
Voters further indicated they are deeply conservative and are most concerned with the nation's economic future - but only as a secondary consideration to ridding themselves of a Presidential administration they perceive as hostile, far too liberal and unresponsive to the America's most urgent needs for economic recovery and a protective foreign policy.
