4:01 am
nonincumbent to win both the iowa caucuses and the new hampshire primary. romney was the heavy favorite. unlike the win in iowa, he easily outpasted. susan mcginnis is there with more. susan, good morning. >> reporter: hi. good morning. terrell. after winning only these first two contests, mitt romney is already talking as if he is the nominee. meanwhile, the other candidates are struggling to emerge as the conservative alternative to romney. mitt romney hopes to continue his winning streak down south. >> we made history. >> reporter: he'll head to south carolina today after scoring another victory last night in the new hampshire pry maury. the former massachusetts governor soaked up the win before blistering an attack on president obama. >> he's enacted job killing regulations. he lost our aaa credit rating.
4:02 am

carolina. last night's results show the race for an alternative is wide open still. rick perry is still hanging in there. he's hoping, terrell, being a southerner that south carolina will be kinder to him than the first two disasters. >> susan mcginnis in manchester. good to see you this morning. exit polls indicate romney had the support of 42% of voters who say they were conservative. 45% of new hampshire voters say the economy was the most important consideration supported romney. he received the most support for whom-electability was the top concern. 62% of the supporters back romney. bob schieffer has more on what the new hampshire outcome means. >> well, there's no doubt about it. the big winner is the man who won. that is mitt romney. he not only won, but he sort of met expectations, got about 40% of the vote. that's what people would have thought he would have gotten. if he would have gotten considerably less than that,
4:04 am
there would have been a real question about whether he was able to put together enough to finally wind up with a nomination. he's pretty much in the cat bird seat now. he's won both the iowa caucuses and new hampshire. first time any republican other than the presidential candidate, an incumbent president has been able to do that. the other big winner is jon huntsman. he was polling around 1% or 2%. he winds up in third place. pretty good finish for him. he said he would probably drop out if he didn't finish at least third. you cannot discount ron paul, who winds up with 20-something percent of the vote or something close to that. you know, he continues to do that. i don't know. many people, independent observers who think he's going to get the nomination. as long as he continues to pick up this much of the vote in these contests, it keeps the
4:05 am
other opposites of mitt romney from being able to assemble a larger share of the vote. so mitt romney leaves here, he got kicked around a little bit, but he leaves here as the winner and he's clearly now in the cat bird seat. this is bob schieffer in new hampshire. >> campaign 2012 now heads to the first primary in the south. south carolina. the political climate much different there. unemployment is much higher than either iowa or new hampshire and religion plays a big role in elections. south carolina may be the last hope for conservatives to stop mitt romney as well. pinkston report from columbia. >> reporter: 6,000 people attend the historic first baptist church in columbia, south carolina. making it an important stop for presidential candidates. >> jesus is speaking to us. >> reporter: the reverend, the pastor says many in the congregation have not yet chosen

a candidate in the upcoming primary. >> today i asked our staff. i said how many of you decided who your candidate is? no one raised their hand. >> rick perry is banking on winning over some of the church-goers. he's already here in south carolina ahead of the other republican hopefuls who are still in new hampshire. perry is making sure the evangelicals know he shares their faith. >> i understand as a young 14-year-old as i gave my life to jesus christ, that was going to be a central part of who i am. >> 55% of the republican voters in south carolina are evangelical. more than double the percentage in new hampshire. that means the candidates will be trying to win over a very different audience here. >> mitt romney knows the challenge ahead. a mormon, he finished fourth here in 2008. he's now leading the polls. but voters like church member ann marie green, aren't sold on him or anyone he will. >> one of the things we don't
4:07 am
