About 10 show up to Jim Gilmore's N.H. primary party

USA Today:

MANCHESTER, N.H. — On the top floor of an Italian restaurant here, with a fire burning and a woman playing acoustic songs in the background, GOP candidate Jim Gilmore greeted the few supporters who came out to his primary watch party.

"I don’t think we’ll win this thing, but let’s see if we can get some recognition," Gilmore said as he shook hands with a supporter.

About 10 people came out to the New Hampshire primary watch party for Jim Gilmore — a GOP candidate who has largely flown under the radar during the 2016 presidential campaign. Just a few miles away, hundreds of people attended watch parties for Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.

The funniest line post-Iowa was when someone pointed out that Jim Gilmore's 12 votes in Iowa was less than the number of "Jim Gilmore's" in Iowa. Forget who said it. Colbert?
