Kerry Continued from page 1 doubts about his viability. He did manage about twice as many votes as either Edwards or Clark. Dean kept his emotions in check Tuesday night, telling supporters, “The people of New Hampshire have allowed all of you to hope again.” Edwards, who finished a surprise second in Iowa, failed to find the same magic in New Hampshire, though he did gain some support in a week. He’s staking his candidacy on his native South Carolina, a centerpiece of next week's contests. “Beyond South Carolina, I don't want to make any predictions,” he said. Clark, hoping to be the rare candidate who thrives after a distant finish, said, “We came into New Hampshire as one of the Elite Eight. We leave tonight as one of the Final Four,” he said. Ignoring his fifth-place showing, Lieberman declared, “We're in a three-way split decision” and pointed his ragged campaign toward South Carolina, Delaware and Oklahoma. Kerry’s victory ensures him money and momen tum headed into next Tuesday’s contests. Dean insisted he will “play to win in every sin gle state,” overruling aides who urged a more cau tious approach. The former Vennont governor plans to compete in South Carolina, Missouri, New Mexico and Arizona, which holds contests next Tuesday; Michigan and Washington state four days later; and Wisconsin, with its contest Feb. 17. Several Dean advisers had urged him to pick fewer targets, cherrypicking states to conserve resources, but he vetoed the strategy, insisting that his campaign was muscular enough to compete nationally. In the AP interview. Dean acknowledged that advisers urged him to skip South Carolina. “There was some discussion about it," he said. "I never gave it any thought.” Dean had raised more than $200,000 in the 24 hours before the primary, but he has been spending money just as fast as raising it — and he will keep up the pricey pace with his new strategy. His eye warily cast toward the fall. Bush planned a trip to New Hampshire to counter criti cism heaped his way during the Democratic race. He used a similar tactic after Iowa's caucuses, scheduling his State of the Union address one day after that contest. About 200.000 voters participated in the Democratic primary, easily eclipsing the record 170,000 turnout in 1992 when Paul Tsongas defeat ed then Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton. Voters in the primary were evenly split between Democrats and independents. A third of the inde pendents backed Kerry, a fourth backed Dean and the rest were split among Edwards, Clark and Lieberman. Surveys of New Hampshire voters showed Kerry's support was broad-based with equally strong support among women and men, all age groups. His support was slightly higher among those whose financial situations have gotten worse in the last four years. The exit poll was conducted for the AP by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International.
