Primary Politics, Part I

We are broadcasting tonight from Manchester, New Hampshire where at this minute polls are closing in the nation's first primary vote of the 2004 presidential campaign. By eight o'clock tonight Eastern Time, one hour from now, polls will be closed across all of New Hampshire, and exit polls should be giving us a pretty good idea of how the Democratic contenders for nomination and the White House have stacked up in the contest.

Throughout the evening, we will bring you all the breaking news, results the minute they emerge, and interviews from across the state and the country.
