2.45am: It's so tight. CNN report that with 46% of the results in, Hillary Clinton has 40 per cent of the vote, with Barack Obama on 36.
Still a long way to go til this one's settled...
Sticking with CNN as they are updating by the minute.
2.55am: Getting tighter...52% of the precincts in: Clinton 39%, Obama 37%.
3.25am: Now 62% of precincts have reported: Clinton 39%, Obama 36%.
3.30am: 64% in: Clinton holding 39%, Obama still on 36%.
3.48am: 73% in: No change in margins.
With almost three-quarters of the vote declared, it's unlikely to change the result significantly now...so I'm off to bed.
What an amazing result for Hillary after the roller-coaster of the past few days saw her written off by many pundits and certainly fighting for her political life.
The race with Barack Obama for the White House goes on...But after New Hampshire, Hillary has proved she's the comeback candidate.
Wonder if it was that trick of John Major's with the soap-box that did the trick?

Late surge by Hillary: its too close to call...
Polls now closed in New Hampshire and counting underway. The ABC network - and others - say a late surge by Hillary Clinton makes the Democrat nomination too close to call.
Associated Press have just reported it's neck-and-neck. Edwards is definitely third.
Obama may still win, but it looks likely the Clinton camp have fought back after a damaging few days and will be able to go on revived, saying they've performed much better than expected in NH after losing so badly in Iowa.
Good news too perhaps for Hillary's campaign manager, whose job was said to be on the line tonight. Looks like he lives to fight another state, or two.
Now the pressure will be on Barack Obama as he is now seen as a serious contender. Will be interesting to see how he performs under intense scrutiny from his opponents and the media, like he has not experienced until now.
As predicted, John McCain has won the Republican fight in New Hampshire.
Michigan should have been next stop on the campaign trail but most candidates have withdrawn after a local scandal and the result there next Tuesday will have little or no significance. Next to watch are the states of Nevada and South Carolina in 11 days - a week Saturday.
