Update on NH

As the numbers tightened during the night, a different, more favorable picture for Mitt has emerged. Initially the reverse on these issues. MyManMitt:
Romney wins the vote of those who approve of the War in Iraq (37% to McCain's 33%), whereas McCain wins the vote of those who disapprove of the war (44% to Romney's 19%).

Romney wins among those who identify themselves as Republicans (35% to McCain's 34%) and among those who consider themselves Conservative (38% to McCain's 30%).
So Romney can claim a victory of Republicans, and on the war, I stand corrected. McCain gets credit for both criticizing the administration handling of the war and persevering on behalf of the surge, but Romney gets credit for standing up for a strong national security policy as well.

UPDATE: Alex Gage, Romney strategist: The Path to Victory

UPDATE: Mitt raised more than $5 million today. (Hillary raised $750 thousand today) And Mitt raised $$$ in Arizona.
