Obama Carries Swing State of New Hampshire in 2008 Repeat
President Barack Obama carried New Hampshire, according to projections by CBS and NBC, giving him a crucial win in a state he also carried four years ago. With the fight for the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House closely contested, New Hampshire’s four electoral votes figured prominently in each candidate’s game plan for reaching the threshold. Romney and Obama both visited the state during the campaign’s final days after having frequently stumped there previously and showering millions of dollars of ad spending on it.
