Republicans set a new turnout record Tuesday in New Hampshire’s primary, attracting more than a quarter of a million voters to the polls and offering evidence that most of the energy in the 2016 presidential race continues to be on the GOP side.
Democrats saw a strong turnout, but their two-person race couldn’t recapture the magic of the 2008 battle between Hillary Clinton and then-candidate Barack Obama — a race that presaged Mr. Obama’s eventual cruise to victory in November.
This is easy to explain. With 11 Republican candidates to only 2 Democrats, there were far more relatives for candidates on the GOP side. Also, the Illinois primary won't be until March 15th, so we won't see a lot of the Democratic Party's dead voters coming out until then...
