Although he said Romney's comment about firing people was "probably take out of context," he said Romney's basic point was not.

"He thinks it's more important for the stockholders and the shareholders and the investors and the venture capital guys to do well for those employees to be part of the bargain," Biden said.

"Listen to Mitt Romney. He has no idea the bargain even exists, let alone is broken," he said. "How else can you say the best way to fix the financial crisis is by letting it all go down to the bottom?"

7:52 p.m. ET – According to CNN New Hampshire Exit Polls (via @sinderbrandcnn): It's no surprise Massachusetts resident and 2008 primary candidate Mitt Romney had an advantage on the ground in New Hampshire: 38% of today's Republican primary voters said they were personally contacted by his campaign at some point. But who had the second-best ground game in New Hampshire? It's a toss-up between fellow 2008 candidate Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman, who essentially camped out in the state in the months leading up to today's vote.

The two relative latecomers to the race - Newt Gingrich (who didn't set up his New Hampshire campaign office until after Thanksgiving) and Rick Santorum (who didn't decide to make a real play for the state until last week) - both reached 10% of today's voters. Unsurprisingly, Rick Perry - who decided to skip serious campaigning in the state - reached just 1% of those who headed to the polls today.

7:14 p.m. ET - According to CNN New Hampshire Exit Polls (via @sinderbrandcnn): Did Newt Gingrich's complaints about unfair attacks from Mitt Romney's camp resonate with New Hampshire's voters? There's evidence they might have: 26% of New Hampshire's Republican primary voters in early exit polls said the former Massachusetts governor was the candidate responsible for the most unfair campaign - enough to earn him a spot at the top of the dishonor roll on that question.

But there's a chance that going negative over those negative ads may have backfired on Gingrich himself: he ran a close second on that question, at 22%. Ron Paul was third on the list, at 17%.

7:00 p.m. ET - Most polls have now closed in New Hampshire.

6:55 p.m. ET - @AriFleischer: Obama got 36.6% in NH D primary and McCain got 37.8% in NH R primary in 2008. We'll see what Romney gets...

6:53 p.m. ET - According to CNN New Hampshire Exit Polls (via @sinderbrandcnn): In New Hampshire - where unemployment barely cracks 5%, far below the national average - 6 in 10 GOP primary voters in CNN exit polls said cutting the deficit is a bigger priority than job creation. And two-thirds said they’re happy with the Republican primary field.

6:48 p.m. ET – @crowleyCNN: Now playing in Romney elex room The Beach Boys " Good Vibrations" party like it's 1966

6:39 p.m. ET – @YellinCNN: It was Gingrich to @johnkingusa. Gingrich predicted Romney gets 37% like Tsongas "when everybody thought he lost the election"

6:37 p.m. ET - According to CNN New Hampshire Exit Polls (via @sinderbrandcnn): Just as in Iowa, nearly half the voters in New Hampshire’s Republican primary (46%) didn’t make up their minds until the final few days of the contest, and roughly 1 in 5 didn’t decide on a candidate until Election Day.

What helped those late deciders make their presidential picks? One big factor, as it’s been all year, may have been the presidential debates â€" two of them held in New Hampshire within the race’s final three days. More than 4 in 5 of New Hampshire’s GOP primary voters say those faceoffs were important to their vote Tuesday.

6:36 p.m. ET - @YellinCNN: Who said it DNC or Gingrich? If romney can't break 50% (in NH) interesting to see him make the case that he's the presumptive front-runner

6:31 p.m. ET – Gingrich, who has taken issue with attack ads backed by a pro-Romney super PAC, said he hopes ads from a super PAC backing his candidacy are "accurate."

"[I] hope they're clear about what the facts are, that's a key part of this," Gingrich said on CNN's "John King, USA."

6:29 p.m. ET – Gingrich called into question Romney's judgment, character and values while discussing his past as CEO of Bain Capital during an interview with CNN Chief National Correspondent John King Tuesday.

6:21 p.m. ET - According to CNN New Hampshire Exit Polls (via @sinderbrandcnn): Last week, 83% of caucus voters described themselves as conservative; 47% said they were “very conservative.” Today, just over half the New Hampshire Republican primary voters in early CNN exit polls (54%) call themselves conservative, and just 21% fall in the “very conservative” category â€" raising the question of whether the “Massachusetts moderate” attack Newt Gingrich debuted in Iowa might do quite the same damage to Mitt Romney in a contest where roughly three times as many voters describe themselves as moderate or liberal.

6:12 p.m. ET - On CNN's "John King, USA," Gingrich said Romney will have a hard time defending his record in the next contest state of South Carolina, a state he said is a must win for Team Gingrich.

5:22 p.m. ET – The Granite State supported GOP presidential candidates in 10 of the 11 presidential elections held between 1948 and 1988. In the 1990s, however, Bill Clinton carried the state twice. In 2000, Bush won here by one percentage point (48 to 47). In 2004, the state flipped back, going for John Kerry by one point (50 to 49). Barack Obama beat McCain here in 2008 by a 10 point margin.

5:20 p.m. ET - Per CNN Producer Mike Roselli, at Romney headquarters in New Hampshire: The teleprompters, which were quickly dispatched as the outcome became cloudy during Iowa caucus day last week, are visible Tuesday night.

4:37 p.m. ET – Paul said he expects to come in 2nd in the New Hampshire primary, adding that a "real real close 2rd I guess is conceivable."

4:33 p.m. ET - Responding to criticism from Gingrich over his foreign policy proposals and stance on illegal drugs, Paul told CNN lead political anchor Wolf Blitzer: "I guess he's worried that his appeal isn't quite as good as our appeal."

4:30 p.m. ET – Paul, appearing on CNN's "The Situation Room," again defended Romney over his "fire" comment, saying GOP rivals who are attacking Romney either "don't have the vaguest idea about the markets" or are "political demagoguing this."

2:37 p.m. ET – @jimacostacnn: And our media mosh pit w Gingrich: "Romney raised taxes. I fought to lower taxes. He was for gun control. I'm for the second amendment."

2:21 p.m. ET - @DanaBashCNN reports that Paul made a quick stop at the Webster School polling place in Manchester. When asked about Romney's "firing" comemnts, Paul said the former Massachusetts governor's comments are being taken out of context and that the attacks are unfair.

1:55 p.m. ET – Huntsman said Romney's comments about enjoying the ability to fire people makes him "unelectable."

12:05 p.m. ET - Democrats use the homepage of New Hampshire's largest newspaper, The New Hampshire Union Leader, to deliver some ad love to Granite State voters Tuesday. See it here. Not just about Republicans...
