hillary clinton fresh off her.. now official win is in new hampshire. so is donald trump trying to regain his spot as the frontrunner. edward lawrence has the latest on the campaign trail. new hampshire is one of the smallest states in the nation.. this week it's the center of national politics. "i'm pretty excited about where we are because i believe the people of new hampshire are going to make the right decision." republicans see a crack in donald trump's armor. he finished second in iowa to senator ted cruz. senator marco rubio surprised everyone almost beating trump finishing a close third. "we got the biggest vote ever in the history of a primary in iowa by like me, but believe me it was me." trump says he'll win new hampshire political experts credit cru's win in iowa "we

hampshire and south carolina. we are going to build the grass roots army." meanwhile senator bernie sanders says he raised $3 million dollars in donations since his moral victory in iowa. "if we reach out to our friends our neighbors our co-workers, if we bring out large numbers of people, we are going to win next tuesday!!!" "my judgment and my commitment and determination to serve you will win your support. please come out and support me next tuesday." "this is the first in the nation clinton trails sanders in recent new hampshire polls by double digits but she hopes to turn that around. hillary clinton considered focusing on the races after new hampshire because of senator bernie sanders lead. she decided to stay and try to close the gap before next i a record number of g-o-p voters caucused monday night. the democrats also turned out in big numbers. more than 180- thousand republicans showed up -- shattering the old record. the democrats fell short of the record 240- thousand in 2008 -- but still -- an impressive

first time caucus-goers.

carson says -- whoever is responsible -- should be cut loose from the cruz campaign. "i just think there needs to be to happen? cruz -- who won the gop caucuus on monday night -- has apologized. carson accepted it -- but questions whether there is`a deeper "cultural issue" wth cruz's campaign. donald trump's decision to skip the last gop debate in iowa might've cost him. he says it could be one reason why he finished in second place -- but claims he'd do the same thing again. the exact same thing and you hour. so if i took a 2nd place over 1st place and could give the vets $6 million i would do that all day

trump finished second behind cruz -- and barely topped marco rubio. how close was the race between hillary clinton and bernie sanders. in a few cases -- delegates were decided by the flip of a coin. this video taken by a univision reporter shows a coin flip to decide which democratic contender would receive the fifth delegate out of this precinct. e rules for democratic precincts say ties can be broken by a coin toss. a post office pulls off a special deliverz. andrew donovan tells us teenager was surprised with a mail fleet for the mail to come every looks, he always screams mail truck just to let everyone know that it's there." when he looked today -- fan. "we would go take pictures at the post office. count all the mail trucks to make sure they got home safe." "we just park next to the gate, and he just looks in and take

matthew for eight months. the watkin's family got a delivery they weren'ttxpecting his mail hirts, his mml hats." after spending most of last year in a rochester "usually we're worried about getting him in and out of the bed, getting him to do is exercise or take his medicine, we got all that done first and then we got him to be happy for a while." what would mail trucks be without packages? "this is the postmasttr of liverpool. oh my gosh." "here's a nice sash with your name on it. matt the mailman." "i'm your mail lady colleen, and you told me you're the mail man, rememmer? do you want to open it?" this second shirt a perfect fit -- matt wants the post office to be his profession.

disease, he wasn't always like this." "he has a lot of work to do but he's doing it he's getting stronger every day." neither snow, nor rain, nor heat stops the post office. neither leukemia will stop matthew. the time is we still have a lot to get to this morning: including the cyclones playing another ranked team. can they hold serve at home? the highlights coming up. plus, you can't hear the music... but just seeing the video is enough. this is an elevator ride one deputy may never live down.
