New Hampshire Primary: Irving wins by nine points
Illinois Senator Jasper Irving swept to victory in the "Granite state" as the polls had predicted by his margin of victory of just under 9.50% was slightly lower than forecast, and indeed hoped for by his campaign.
Never the less it was a good night for Irving who told his supporters at a victory rally in Concord as he tried to move thoughts to a potential general election campaign against President Seaborn " We have showed that we can win election without hate, without setting our fellow Americans against each other. These results have showed that I am the best candidate to take on President Seaborn, but we should never forget that the President is our opponent, not our enemy, he isn't a communist trying to recreate the Soviet Union, as some would have you believe, he is a a fellow citizen, a good family man, who I happen to disagree with on policy".
As Iowa, Ohio Senator Ruth Norton-Stewart came in a strong second place, with Alan Duke finishing in third place, although he hold off the strong finish to the campaign of former Michigan Congressman Gus Edwards, who finished in a strong fourth place. Robert Royce was 2% behind Edwards, with Georgia Senator Charlie Forrester failing to even 2% of the vote.
The primary campaign moves into two contests, next Tuesday in Nevada and South Carolina.
