Ron Paul is splitting the Republican vote more than anything. The conservatives are split between fighting wars overseas and a bloated military, against the concept that a small government with limited powers is ideal.

Huntsman finished up his final day of having New Hampshire to himself with a crowded town hall meeting in Peterborough, where a voter asked him what he'd say to the Iowa winner. His short answer -- "Welcome to New Hampshire. Nobody cares" -- was a bit more direct than he had been in recent days. He has said the rest of the country will forget the Iowa results within days if not hours.
