Is there an online live tracker?

I'm watching a live steam of MSNBC available from the msnbc website but it's all Obama, Clinton, Edwards, Romney, McCain
I watched this for Iowa: http://www.politico.com/iowacaucuses/iowamap-popup.html but I went all over that site today and couldn't find anything for NH.
I'm on bad dialup and can't watch a live stream.
I don't have cable TV either. Nothing on network TV right now but soaps.The interview was short lived. She asked about the RP supporters chasing down Hannity. RP said that we are strongly against violence but has encouraged us to have fun.
He said that it looked like the supporters were having fun and he said there was nothing wrong with a little yelling.
God I love this guy.

Earlier someone posted that in Primaries you don't find out the results until it's all over -- like around 8:00 tonight.
Bummer
You never EVER find out results anywhere before voting is done. It would be a travesty. When those exit polls leaked a bit early in a few states in 2004 it was an absolute debacle.
This year, the people analyzing the exit poll data are being "quarantined" in a special room at these networks so that it's impossible for the information to get out.
There is a chance that some exit poll data will leak a bit early, but definitely not before around 7:30pm eastern time.

When I saw your URL, I decided to be creative with the URL and after trying a couple of times:

Here's the live tracker going to be!

Nice work, but I don't think it will be tracking live, or it would be showing results. It will probably only show the results after it's over.

Yeah; I know it will probably take 4 more hours before results will start to be submitted by AP.
They are NOT ALLOWED to release results early. Releasing results has a huge (and illegal) effect on voting.
Remember, this was the cause of the 2000 ruckus in Florida. TV anchors forgot that the panhandle of Florida is in the central time zone, and announced the state for Gore when the east coast timezone part of Florida was done. In response to the announcement that Gore had won, thousands of people went home in the panhandle rather than wait online to vote for a candidate who was going to lose anyway. Estimates put Bush's lost votes at around 10,000.
After the accidental early release of exit polls for a few states in the 2004 general presidential election, the networks are now going through unprecedented efforts to keep the information from getting out early.
No, results are not allowed until after 8pm eastern time. Period. Not even the exit polls (although I wouldn't be surprised if the exit polls released 15 or 20 minutes early).

Auch!! So I have to wait till 2 AM before I get the first results :o
For good reason. If results came out at noon showing Ron Paul at only 10%, don't you think that would cause THOUSANDS of ron paul voters to become demoralized and go home??
It's completely improper for results to come out while voters still haven't voted.
