Romney is going to win New Hampshire, as expected

Nearly half of the vote is counted as of this writing, at nearly 8:30 central time.

Now that this primary is over, I'll make a few quick observations:

• Gingrich may have suffered a bit for his criticism of Romney
• Santorum and Gingrich are nearly tied.
• Romney added to his vote total from 2008.
• Huntsman nearly got as many votes as Santorum and Gingrich combined.
• The Not-Romney conservative coalition, sans Ron Paul, won again.

There is still significant opposition to Romney.  If conservatives can coalesce around just one candidate, they might be able to win.  But there is little time, and South Carolina looms directly ahead.
