McCain wins in New Hampshire
Senator wins Republican vote as Clinton narrowly beats Obama in Democratic race.
But so far most of the results had been from urban areas where Clinton was expected to do well whereas Obama enjoys most of his support in the rural areas where results are not yet in.
McCain, the Arizona senator and staunch Iraq war supporter who just months ago was being written off as a lost cause, beat Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts who has poured tens of millions of dollars of his personal wealth into the race.
McCain won 37 per cent of the votes while Romney got 32 per cent.
