The New Hampshire Primary featured six Republican Presidential Candidates, as Michelle Bachmann had withdrawn from the Republican Primary after the Iowa Caucus. The results of the vote were significant win for Former Governor Mitt Romney, and a significant showing for Ron Paul. John Huntsmann arrived in 3rd place with a surprisingly unexpected showing. Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum tied for the fourth place spot. Rick Perry had a negligible response, and though the Perry campaign had shown early strength, after the results were released Perry’s campaign gave indications that they were preparing to suspend efforts.
