This is a part from The Economist, 2012 Jan 14, Politics This Week:
"As expected, Mitt Romney won the New Hampshire primary by a huge margin, leaving the other Republican presidential candidates in his wake. Rick Santorum, who did well in Iowa, placed a lowly fifth. Jon Huntsman, who had pinned all his hopes on a good showing, came third."
What does "good showing" mean here? A high turnout?
Thank you!
