2012 Presidential Election News of the Day: With many thousands of votes still left to count, every major news organization has already called the 2012 New Hampshire primary for former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.

“Tonight, we made history,” Romney told supporters at his victory party. He is the first non-incumbent Republican presidential candidate to win both Iowa and New Hampshire. 

Though historic, tonight’s result was far from surprising, considering the New York Times’ Nate Silver put Romney’s chance of winning at 99%. The real race now is for second place, with either Ron Paul or Jon Huntsman expected to lead the losers.

NBC was the first network to project a second place winner, giving the spot to Paul. ABC News, CNN and Fox News followed suit. Newt Gingrich and Santorum are currently duking it out for fourth place with about 10% each. Texas Gov. Rick Perry is a distant last with 1% at the time of writing.

Despite the disappointing finish, Huntsman, who spent months aggressively canvassing the Granite State, told CNN he was moving on to South Carolina. “Where we stand right now is a solid, comfortable position,” the former Utah governor said. “We go south from here.”
