BBC is reporting a high turnout vote in NH.....If this turnout is big, it would favor Obama...that means that many young and old nonvoters are now voting for the first time...
"Voters have been streaming into polling stations in the key New Hampshire presidential primary, fuelling expectations of a record turnout.
The state secretary, Bill Gardner, has predicted that at least half a million people will cast their ballots.
The first votes counted, and opinion polls, put Barack Obama and John McCain ahead in their respective races.
Candidates are aiming to build momentum before more than 20 states hold polls on 5 February, known as Super Tuesday.
Analysts say New Hampshire's large bloc of independents - about 45% of registered voters - could be key to swinging the primary, the second in a series of state-level votes and caucuses through which the parties choose their candidates for the US presidency."
