The polls for the New Hampshire primary closed days ago. The winners are decided. Another candidate dropped out of the race. Those still running have moved on to other states.

Over the past 15 months this blog been home to 900 blog posts documenting what some are suggesting is the greatest New Hampshire primary ever. The interest in the primary and this blog was measured in the hundreds of thousands of views this blog received in the first week of January alone.

But this is the last Primary Source blog post. As the campaign moves so will I with another project.

I had the time of my life attending literally hundreds of presidential primary events and responding to your emails. I am indebted to those who read often and to the Globe for conceptualizing the blog in the first place. This endeavor was more successful than we could have ever imagined.

Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich is calling for a recount of the New Hampshire primary, not because he believes it will show him the winner, but for the integrity of the process.

Kucinich received just 1.4 percent of the vote in Tuesday's primary that was won by Hillary Clinton.

The New Hampshire Secretary of State's office said Kucinich can have a recount but he will have to pay for it. Under state law if a candidate loses by less than 3 percent they can pay a flat $2,000 for the recount. If they lose by more than 3 percent they have to pay the entire cost.

Kucinich asked for a recount after hearing about reports that Barack Obama did better in places where votes were hand counted versus larger cities where votes are tabulated electronically. In truth, polling had suggested that Clinton was doing better in the larger cities prior to the vote.

In 2004 a Michigan activist demanded a recount of the presidential race on behalf of the Ralph Nader campaign. As The Nation reported they were satisfied of the integrity of the New Hampshire process after the recount.

In New Hampshire today life is returning to normal. Much of the campaign staff of candidates still in the race will get on a plane today for later primary and caucus states. I even overheard a conversation bookstore in Portsmouth talking about the Patriots. (Remember them?)

In fact the New Hampshire papers returned covering state Senators like Bob Odell, a Lempster Republican, who had an aide arrested for stealing money from his campaign account. There is also coverage of Medicaid and nursing homes and the governor's support of a carbon tax.

Seacoast supporters of Hillary Clinton and John McCain are pleased with the outcome of Tuesday's election.

With Bill Richardson dropping out yesterday, one of his high-profile supporters in the state, former Portsmouth Mayor Steve Marchand tells the Portsmouth Herald that Richardson would make a good vice presidential pick.

A new piece of legislation filed in the New Hampshire Legislature would allow 17-year-old the right to participate in the New Hampshire presidential primary as long as they were 18-years-old by the general election.

Portsmouth state Representative Jim Splaine, a Democrat, is the primary author of the bill. He is also the author of a legislation in the 1970s that required the state to hold the first-in-the-nation presidential primary.

The Globe's Susan Milligan gets the scoop over on our other blog, Political Intelligence.

In New Hampshire today there is still a lot of post-mortem of what happened on Tuesday's New Hampshire primary.

Presidential campaign moves on to Nevada where Hillary Clinton will campaign today and Barack Obama will visit tomorrow. Tonight the Republicans will face off in a South Carolina debate. Yesterday Mitt Romney and John McCain began their fight in Michigan, the Globe reports.

In terms of New Hampshire, Time Magazine snagged Hillary Clinton's state director Nick Clemons for an interview who told her his campaign strategy was targeting women and getting absentee ballots in before results in Iowa were known. The Concord Monitor has Clemons talking about how it was actually his candidate's ability to connect that made the difference.

The Monitor also discusses how the town hall meeting and a weak Republican field allowed John McCain to come back.

The Union Leader notes the record turnout. The Concord Monitor considers the good and bad of the primary.

The Globe looks at how pollsters were so wrong on the Democratic side. The Concord Monitor evens questions its own pollster.

The big loser, a Globe story suggests, were the pundits.

There is a lot of second guessing of the New Hampshire polls that showed Barack Obama handily beating Hillary Clinton. As is known, Clinton won. (Other polls were dead-on in the Republican race.)

Pollster.com has an interesting chart and analysis.

With a slideshow of newspaper front-pages.

The framework of change versus experience wasn't the proper dividing line, though it mattered. The difference of young people versus old didn't make the difference in New Hampshire that it did in Iowa, though they mattered.

The thing that really mattered, exit polls of voters suggest, was the gender gap.

Some 57 percent of women voted for Clinton.

Hillary Clinton was not supposed to win tonight. But she did.

She took the lead in early returns because of friendly big cities and everyone, even the Clinton campaign, crunching numbers said that towns in the Upper Valley, Cheshire County and college towns would come in big time for Obama.

As as the night progressed and the returns came in and Obama didn't not clean up in Hanover the way he needed to win. He only won liberal enclaves Durham and Portsmouth by 500 votes each when he needed to win by 1,500.

The tone in e-mails and phone calls to Clinton aides and supporters began to change. On Monday there was serious discussion that Clinton could get third by looking at their data from phone calls around the state. On Election Day there was a lot of discussion about what went wrong among Clinton supporters. Cable news channels buzzed about campaign staff shake-ups and new a new strategy. As a record voter turnout began showing up one Clinton aide asked a reporter "seriously, how bad is this going to be?" New Hampshire Democratic campaign chairs and prominent Democratic activists began pondering how an Obama blow-out tonight would re-shape state politics.

But all of that is irrelevant now.

Hillary Clinton stood in the same gym tonight where Howard Dean stood four years ago. But Clinton, of course, gave a different speech.

"I listened to you and in the process I found my own voice," Clinton said.

It will be a while until New Hampshire hears that voice again.

While the Associated Press is the only media organization to call it, the fact is that Barack Obama would have to have huge wins in the remaining college towns to come even close.

Obama towns still not in

Exeter
Durham
Hanover
Plymouth
All towns in Cheshire County
Salem

Clinton towns not in

Claremont
Berlin (and all of Coos County)

Republican town by town

Democratic town by town

From CNN, ABC, and NBC.

... the early returns are almost always from Manchester, a city favorable to Clinton.

Wait for the later returns.

And Rochester is a must-win for Hillary Clinton is she to do well because he her base is the working class that populates Rochester.

Very, very tight. Mitt Romney still has a chance given that many of the polls that close at 8pm are in Romney's strongest towns.
