US Voters' Views 2008: New Hampshire

In the run-up to the US presidential elections we are asking a panel of BBC News website users to share their opinions and views.

The state of New Hampshire prides itself on always being the first to the vote in the US primaries. The state's choice is an indicator of the country's mood and voting intentions. As New Hampshire's results came in, we asked six residents to give us their reactions.

Lance Klass Concord "A tactical error may have been a major factor in Obama's loss" Tristen Hall Hudson "I look forward to a president I'm not ashamed of" Stephen Parker Keene "I see this as a win for Republicans all around"

Joyce Brothers Tamworth "McCain is a great American with character and passion" Charles Grant Hanover "Obviously I am disappointed, but I am also excited" Jerry Amos Hollis "Will Clinton popularity carry over to other states?"

We also want to hear what you think, so send us your comments using the form after each person's views.

The readers' panel has been selected from as wide a cross-section of people as possible and may not be representative of wider US public opinion.
