On January 10, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney took a major step toward winning the Republican Party’s president race with a convincing victory in the New Hampshire primary. Romney easily defeated five Republican rivals one week after a narrow win in the Iowa caucuses and appears to be a strong favorite to be the Republican challenger against President Barack Obama in the November election.
Mitt Romney celebrated his victory with his family and supporters and said “Thank you New Hampshire. Tonight, we made history”. He is the first person who wins the two first contests of presidential nomination, the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary.
