NASHUA, N.H. - Chris Christie placed his biggest

presidential campaign bet on the New Hampshire primary spending more than 70 days campaigning in
the Granite State but failed to cash in on Tuesday.
Christie was on track in early results to finish a dismal sixth in the Republican field, intensifying pressure
on him to suspend his campaign so the partys other establishment candidates can have a clearer shot at taking down maverick front-runner Donald Trump.
Those calling for party unity may get their wish: The
results prompted Christie to change plans to travel to
South Carolina today for a head start on the next primary Feb. 20.
Addressing supporters with his wife, Mary Pat,

breath and see what
the final results are.
