25-second speech. >> reporter: overnight, rubio seeming to repepeat anotr phra quite a bit. e 21st century and we know how hard it's become to instill our values in our kids instead of the values to try to ram down our throats. in the 21st century it's become harder than ever to instill in your children the values they instead of the values they try to ram our throats and movies and music and -- >> reporter: now, the voting fast and furious here in londonderry. as for senator ted cruz he won the iowa caucuses, he's been polling somewhere in that four-way tie for second place but lowering expectations saying none of the first four states in the primary cycle this time around are must-win states. we'll see what happens, george. >> thankou, tom. i'm joined now by governor john kasich. he's here with us in manchester right now. so, you won the vote in dixville notch, 2-1. nine voters total.

>> is it true you called every single voter in that town? >> i did. >> 2-1 you won. >> it was great. >> a lot of the polls showing you got some momentum in these fil days. drawing the attention of governor jeb bush. putting out a web video ad right now, calling it no comparison hitting your record for supporting obamacare, budget issues. how do you respond? >> i don't respond to that. i think, unfortunately, i hate to say it but jeb has taken the very low road to the highest office in the e land andgeorge, i've been positive. we've had 106 town hall meetings, people come, they laugh, they cry. they talk about the things that matter to them. we've been positive, our ground game, gordon humphrey, the foer senator says it's the best ground game he's seen in 40 years. last night we were out there in a driving snowstorm, probably 300, 400 people standing out ere cheering. it was like a movie set. i wish i could take it -- i could make a movie out of this, george.

>> you could be the star. you could play me. >> where are you going to finish? >> we're going to finish very strong. i'm not like muhammad ali, i can't predict exactly what round or whatever but, look, i sent my bus, the magic bus down to south carolina last night. and we're heading there. >> that's my question. even if you do very well here your opponents, rivals say you're out of money, not organized in other states. >> i love when my rivals say stuff like that, george. as you know, people have counted me all of my career and sd i wouldn't get in the race, i couldn't raise the money, wouldn'tet to new hampshire, wouldn't make the debate stage. i hope they keep underestimating me. there was another guy they underestimated all the time, his name was reagan. our message is, leave no one behind, grow the economy where americans were before and republicans and democrats and people respond to that. >> getting attention from democrats. a lot of independedents heren new hampshire can vote in either primary. jon karl is in derry, new hampshire, with a couple that are choosing between you and hillary clinton. jon.

incredible with the folks here maryann's, how many people still now planning to vote after breakfast are not quite sure who they're going to vote for. right here fd daniels from nashua and as george jt said, you are actually trying to decide between john kasich and hillary clinton but what's youour question, you have a chance now, want to know? >> governor kasich, i really appreciate you talking to us right now and i ve had a chance to actually see you live. the question i have for you and all the candndidates i how are you going to get congress to listen to you and to understand what you want to accomplish? it's so divisive. it's so dysfunctional. how are you going to get these people together to make your things happen? >> you know, i've done it all my career. in fact, as chairman of the budget committee i actually work with people like george stephanoulos to get the budget balanced because we brought

didn't worry about the ideology so much or the party. i mean, it was a conservative program that got us the balance. we did it by working together and i've done it in ohio. you know what you do, you just -- you're fair with people. you u don't ha to caven on your principles. sir, if there's anything i can do it's the ability to get people to work together and realize that our legacy will be determined by what we achieve. not the political positions that we take. that. i've always said, sir, one of the things i'll do is get the birthdays of all the mothers and fathers of the members of congress and call them on their birthdays so they'll call ththeir sons and daughters and say don't mess with the president. he really a good guy. we want your votes, sir. please. >> thanks for coming in. good luck to you. >> robin. >> that was refreshing. all right, george, now to the democratic candidates. we got to take a look hillary clinton at a polling station.

the last thing we need is promises that can't be met. >> reporter: hoping big names help bring big numbers to the polls. her husband going on that pid-fire attack accusing some sanders supporters of making offensive comments to hillary backers. >> to vicious trolling and attacks that are literally too profane often not to mention sexist to repeat. >> reporter: i asked about thohose arges. do you think the sanders campaign is playing dirty? after a long pause finally an answer. >> no, i believe we ought to have the same rules for everybody. >> reporter: and the voting is already under way here at this polling station but now potential new threat to this race. former new york city mayor michael bloomberg giving his first comments about jumping in. he is still considerering it a

this race an outrage and insult to voter george. >> thanks cecilia. i'm joined by senator marco rubio. election day right now and, boy, since that debate on saturday night, all your opponents are piling on. you got jeb bush piling on, chris christie, john kasich, donald trump, all questionin whether you're ready to be president. they smell blood. >> yeah, but that's what campaigns dodo. it's great to be targeted. that means you're doing something right. people don't waste time or money on people who aren't d doing wel today is election day here in new hampshire and we f feel good about our team and i think voters realize i give the republican party the best chance to win. i'm as conservative as anyone in this field and so today's the day and i'm excited. >> have they gotten in your head even that glitch last night repeating yourself again. >> no, i'm doing it -- i'm not going to stop saying what i'm saying. i mean, we believe -- my whole

that the country's headed in the wrong direction as a result of a deliberate effort on the part of this president to put in place policies that change the relationship of government to our economy and america's role in the world so i'm going -- that is the core of our campaign. we look forward to continuing to say that. >> can you still come in second here? >> i don't know where we'll finish in terms of second, third our fourth. i know trump is a clear front-runner. i mean, he's been in first place since june. and some people haven't campaigned anywhere else but here so it's a pretty unusual setup today but we feel really good andooking to finish strong today and head on to south carolina. >> if thathappens, how do you recover? >> that campaign really begins a 13-day sprint that begins wednesday but we'll finish strong here. we feel great about it. we have a great team here and obviously everyone needs to vote today. >> you got one in five voters make up their mind on the last day. >> right. >> for those watching. if the debate gave them pause,

>> look, first of all, i don't think it gave very many people pause. if you look at a biometric we looked at from fund-raising to interest on the web to google searches, we had a very strong debate. the media is fixated on the first ten minutes, but the voters are looking at the totality of . especially in a place like new hampshire. i have more national security experience and foreign policy experience than anyone else on the republican side, by far. and beyond that i would say i give our party the best chance to do three things -- to unify, to grow and to win. just yesterday, a poll comes out and says if i'm the nominee i i think voters understand i'm as qualified and as conservative as us the best chance -- >> you'll campaiaign till osing time. >> we're going to go to polling places starting right now and look forward to flipping a few last-minute votes which could mean the difference. >> thanks for coming in. >> thanks, i appreciate it. and you're looking live now
