      Consider a presidential election. In the New Hampshire primary, nocandidate has won or lost in any state. Sure, there are opinion polls thatgive voters an indication of the outcome of the primary. However, there isno quantifiable information to prove the outcome of the election until allof the votes are counted. Therefore, voters tend to be more objective(relatively speaking) and pay closer attention to the candidates themselvesand what each stands for (or appears to stand for). After the New Hampshireprimary, there is clearly a leader in the presidential race. From thatpoint forward, voters weigh not only the candidate and what he or shestands for, but also the opinions of the citizens that have already casttheir opinions (votes).
