MANCHESTER, N.H. ? Across New Hampshire Monday night, voters were glued to their TV screens as they watched the returns from the Iowa caucuses. Campaign workers for the Democratic hopefuls were riveted, too — as they geared up for a weeklong blitz that will end next Tuesday here, with the nation’s first presidential primary.

“It’s pretty huge,” said Mike Reitenour, a volunteer at Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s headquarters on Manchester’s Main Street. “I am very anxious to see what comes out of Iowa.”

Polls suggest that many likely New Hampshire primary voters remain undecided, and some watched to see which campaigns were gathering steam and which seemed to be fading.

But Steve Doyle, a car salesman here, said he doubted the caucus results would sway a state full of notoriously strong-minded voters.

“No matter what happens in Iowa, we’re not going to vote for their winner,” Doyle said. “We’re very independent here in New Hampshire. Our results could be completely different.”

The news and punditry from Iowa had barely quieted when the major candidates hopped on planes for frigid New Hampshire. North Carolina Sen. John Edwards was scheduled to appear first in the Granite State, landing at Concord at 2:30 Tuesday morning. Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean was to follow at 3:15 a.m., with a rally awaiting him on the tarmac in the coastal city of Portsmouth.

With victory in Iowa forecast Monday night, Kerry planned a celebration at the airport here soon after his 6:45 a.m. arrival.

Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, who bypassed the Iowa caucuses, left little time in his 16-hour campaign schedule Monday to muse about the results from Iowa. Lieberman spoke at a New Hampshire town meeting as the first results were coming in, then appeared on “Larry King Live.”

Then Lieberman raced to yet another event and, as the clock crept toward midnight, he stopped by his Manchester campaign headquarters to pump some spirit into his volunteers.

After a quick trip Monday to South Carolina, retired Gen. Wesley K. Clark flew back to New Hampshire and rushed directly to his campaign headquarters to rally his troops here.

Clark campaign spokesman Jamal Simmons called the early results from Iowa evidence that “there’s no front-runner in this race anymore. If these results hold up, all bets are off.”
