Many of the folks who went to the polls yesterday made up their minds in the past few days. Some said they didn't decide on a candidate until they got in the voting booth. Here's what some of those conflicted late deciders had to say yesterday:

Bill Short, 77, Concord

Voted for Huckabee

"I don't want (Mitt) Romney to win this thing, (so) I voted for Huckabee because he's a born-again Christian. With the guitar, he's a little loosey-goosey, but he's a lot better than governor Romney."

Angeline Obara, 37, Weare

Voted for McCain

"It was a toss-up because I really like Huckabee. If he was doing better in the polls, I would have thought about it. I didn't want to see Romney get in."

Patti Smith, 55, Hopkinton

Voted for Obama

"I walked in and went up and down, and I said, okay, I'm going to be hopeful and positive. (Hillary Clinton) knows how to get things done, but I wanted to show the young people today that there is hope."

George Duley, 88, Concord

Voted for Clinton

"She has a good chance of getting good people to support her (in office), good Cabinet members."

Mark Chiarenza, 43, Franklin

Voted for Romney
