broadcasting from the CNN Center in Atlanta, Georgia. I am Caral Zuees. This is CNN Student News. Thank you for spending part of the day with us. We are kicking things off today with some presidential politics. Specifically, the raise for the Republican nomination 1 starting in the South Carolina now. That state has the next primary on January 21st. Most of the candidates are trying to cast the winner of this week's New Hampshire's primary. You can see the four results right here. We report former Massachussates governor Mitt 2 Romneyis victory yesterday, plus second and third place finishers for Representative Ryan Paul and former Uhtar governor John Hunsmand. They were followed by former House Speaker New Ginwich, fromer Senator Rics Toran and Texas's governor Rid Perry. That everybody is still in the race. Nobody dropped out after New Hampshire. The South Carolina could be a make or break event. Paul talks about what takes to run for the White House.

Running for the White House is unlike any other context. This is the ultimate price and is definitely the major // when it comes to the compaign.

Everybody thinks the election is in November, but honestly that election starts often 2 years before him. Going to the early voting states, meeting voters, starting to build up a staff. This is a commitement that takes a lot more than just a few weeks.

Running for the White House is no cheap opposition 3. It takes a lot of money. This time, we will see maybe a billion dollar compaign. Why dose it cost so much money to run for the White House? Because it's more than just a state operation. You are running at all 50 states. And it takes a lot of money, not only to build up a staff, to reach out the voters but also the travel, the commercials. We are talking a mass of money. You don't always have to be reached to run for the White House. You can have ideas and if you start generating thus, well, then the money follows. Especially nowadays with the Internet, it is so much easier now to reach out everybody to raise money than it was in the old days.

// a successful cmpaign, you need a pretty large staff. No doubt about it. You have to have people in the early voting states like Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida and Navada. People who are reaching out to voters, people who are setting up events for their candidate. When it comes to the compaign staff, candidates often like to have young people and old people as well. It's definitely a mixture. They are top strategies. They are often people who've been around for cycles. But a lot of the younger people out of the states, the volunteers and the fresh faces, those are the people who are knocking on doors and saying hello to voters and trying to spread the messages of their candidates. There are a lot of positions in the compaign, but there is few people who stand out at the most. And one of them is the Compaign Mangager, that's the person who manages the compaign, basically the boss who decides who does what and where the candidate goes and what the candidate says to a degree.

The Internet changes a lot when it comes to the running for the White House. It used to be back in the day. Candidates would have pretty good, pretty good handle on his message, getting out them to the media. But nowadays, anybody can make a video and that video can go viral.
