Supporters of many stripes turn out to sway voters at the last minute on primary day in Peterborough, N.H.


MANCHESTER, N.H. -- It looks like a theme park for political campaigns here today. And all signs point to the gate doing good business.

The last-minute political pleaders are filling up the streets of this southern New Hampshire city, hawking the main attractions: Signs for Hillary, Rudy, Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, John McCain, John Edwards, and more.

It even feels like a day to visit a theme park: 60 degrees and sunny in January's New Hampshire.

No wonder, then, that big voter turnout is predicted in this, the second major political voting stop on the road to choosing Republican and Democratic presidential nominees.
