Former Vice Presidential candidates traditionally do poorly in New Hampshire presidential primaries. Look at John Edwards, who won 17% earlier his month. In 2004, Joe Lieberman finished 5th with 9% of the vote. Sargent Shriver won 8% in his 1976 5th place finish, and Bob Dole, the GOP candidate for Vice President in 1976, lost the New Hampshire presidential primary three times: he finished seventh in 1980, and second in 1988 and 1996.
