Today is the New Hampshire primary. \u00a0The two scariest candidates, to many people\u2019s minds, are far ahead in the polls: \u00a0Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. \u00a0The big question is which Republican candidate \u00a0will come in second. \u00a0It likely won\u2019t be Cruz, in non-religious New England. \u00a0And it will be interesting to see if Rubio survives his debate debacle. \u00a0At any rate,\u00a0the New Hampshire runner-up will attract lots of attention and donors\u00a0as the non-Trump alternative.<\/p>\n

New Hampshire voters could dramatically reshape the race for president on Tuesday, boosting insurgent candidates who have connected with a discontented electorate or providing a second wind to establishment figures struggling to build support.<\/p>\n

New York businessman Donald Trump, whose scorched-earth speeches have captivated people disillusioned with politics, is positioned to win the Republican primary, according to all public polls, allowing him to rebound after a second-place finish in the Iowa caucuses.<\/p>\n

But second place \u2013 and third place and fourth \u2013 is up for grabs in a state known for its large number of independent voters who can remain undecided right up until they approach the ballot box. . . .<\/p>\n

How the primary shakes out could determine whether the field rapidly narrows to a three-person race involving Trump, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and one candidate more acceptable to the party establishment, or whether mainstream voters will remain divided among multiple White House hopefuls.<\/p>\n

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton has fought an uphill battle against Bernie Sanders, the senator from neighboring Vermont who has consistently held large leads in New Hampshire. The contest between the two \u2013 once expected to be a coronation for Clinton, the former secretary of State and the favorite for the Democratic establishment \u2013 has become increasingly tense since she eked out a narrow victory in the Iowa caucuses last week.<\/p>\n
