New Hampshire cigar shop owner Leonard Seagren is looking forward
to a more flamboyant political season.
Seagren, who owns Federal Cigar, says people participating in
his quadrennial Federal Forecast exhibited more "flamboyant
tosses" in trying to sink a book of matches into bags bearing
likenesses of their favorite presidential candidates.
This year's contest, which ran Dec. 31 through Sunday, saw Rep.
Ron Paul, R-Texas, capturing 31 percent of the Republican tosses
and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., capturing 46 percent of the Democrats.
"(Voters) were more in favor of their candidates this time
than in the past," Seagren told Fosters Daily Democrat.

Following Paul on the Republican side were Sen. John McCain of
Arizona with 27 percent, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani with
21 percent, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee with 10 percent,
former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney with 8 percent and former
Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee with 2 percent.
On the Democratic side, there was a tie for second between Rep.
Dennis Kucinich of Ohio and former Sen. John Edwards of North
Carolina with 17 percent, Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York with
13 percent, Sen. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut with 3 percent,
Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware with 4 percent and New Mexico Gov.
Bill Richardson with 1 percent. Biden and Dodd have both dropped
out of the campaign.
