josh: he worked harder in iowa than new hampshire. he was here a lot, but iowa was clearly his focus. given what we saw happen yesterday, do you view rubio now as the establishment candidate, best perhaps strongest to challenge for the nomination? >> he's got a clear shot. if he can win second in new hampshire, that's going to put jeb bush and chris christie, john kasich in the shadows. and it's going to strengthen the story that this is a three-person race in new hampshire. if he can challenge donald trump, it's a possibility he could make it a two-person race between himself and cruz. josh: a lot of people believe there's only one ticket out of do you believe that and if so which governor is best positioned to get that? >> i think that one place finish. and right now john kasich, governor of ohio, has the best shot at putting together a group of moderate republican voters and independents. he's got the cleares lane. i think bush and christie have a lot to worry about with marco rubio, because they're trying to reach the same types o

for voters in new hampshire. scott: marco rubio did better than expected, a strong third-place, almost second-place finish among the establishment choice. he comes to new hampshire with the wind strongly at his back. for donald trump, he was the man . he has his first major stumble. now, we question, does he have the organization to do well in new hampshire? that is suddenly a very big question. erin: our in-depth political coverage continues online at wmur.com and on our mobile up. you can track each one of the candidates. we also have analysis. about how iowa will impact new hampshire voters. as you make up your mind, you can compare where the candidates stand on the issues. sean: even though the primary is a week away, the first votes will be cast today. more than 20,000 students will take part in a mock election, including kids from kindergarten through high school. a great experience. the republican candidates will meet on stage in new hampshire this weekend for one last time wmur and abc news are sponsoring

the new hampshire g.o.p. is just one of several groups calling on democratic super delegates to follow the will of the people. josh mcelveen is here to explain. josh: so bernie sanders lost iowa by the slimmest of marriage ins, he clobbered hillary clinton in new hampshire by 22 points. but ultimately it's the democratic delegates who will choose their nominee and right now hillary clinton has a big advantage over sanders regardless of what the voters have to say. it's not a lot of common ground between new hampshire republicans and self described democratic socialist bernie sanders. but on this point the nhgop has the store's back in the form of an online petition. >> there's nothing fair or democratic about a system where bernie sanders beats hillary clinton by over 20 points and leaves our state with the same number of delegates. josh: that's because unlike the republican party democrats are party officials or leaders who each have muscle equal to 10,000 ballots in new hampshire, but are not bound by elect

candidates will turn their attention to new hampshire this week. mike cronin tells me what canvassers were doing this weekend. mike: even though most of the candidates were not in new hampshire this weekend, their volunteers are campaigning, making phone calls every night, trying to reach as many voters as possible. leaving his competitors in iowa, ohio governor john kasich continued campaigning in new hampshire as he approaches 100 town halls in the state. >> whether i win or not, i believe in this process. i believe the folks in new hampshire are the best screeners america can have. mike: add bow elementary school, tax rates, reduce spending, and address climate change if elected president. >> we don' t have to police the world, and we don' t want to control the world, but just like a good mom or dad, we have to lead as an adult country. that is our destiny is america. mike:mike: after dropping out of the race a month ago, south carolina senator lindsey graham is back supporting jeb bush. he talked to veterans in manchester. graham says bush is b
