Mitt Romney greets supporters at ehis New Hampshire primary night victory party in Manchester, N.H.Mitt Romney scored a decisive victory in New Hampshire last night. He secured his second victory in a week's time. Now he's hoping the presidential primary will be a cakewalk. His performance in New Hampshire places him in a strong position going into the South Carolina primary, which has historically been the key to the GOP presidential nomination. Romney is the first Republican to win both the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary since 1976, with the last GOP candidate to do so was incumbent president Gerald R. Ford. However, Romney still has a fight on his hands as the five other GOP contenders press on to the Palmetto State.
