Hooksett, N.H.

The celebration for Mitt Romney here at Southern New Hampshire University is a quick affair. Roughly forty minutes after the last polls closed and the major TV networks had called the New Hampshire primary, Romney is wrapping up his victory speech. Supporters are filing out. Campaign surrogates are milling about to talk to reporters. The party is practically over.

“Tonight, we celebrate,” Romney had told the packed room. “Tomorrow, we go back to work.”
