They voted GOP every in the general election every time since 1972. I think that's telling in a "micro" sense of where this election is going this NOV, assuming Obama is the nominee.

Proving my point that Obama has postioned himself as Republican light.

Decades ago I lived close to Dixville Notch. It is a stark place, and they take their vote very seriously.

Richard, if you had paid attention at all you'd realize that your comment was completely backwards. He is more liberal than Hillary, he isn't moderate. His crossover appeal isn't because of his policies, it is about his character and his message of change that appeals to so many people who are tired of the politics of the last few decades. People who think Obama's appeal shows that he is moderate or conservative aren't paying much attention and clearly don't understand the candidates or how people think.

Indeed, Obama is a liberal politician who is also very popular.

I understand that it is coming as a surprise to some people that this combination is even possible, but there it is.

Darn clinton didn't get one vote. What a shame. I finally got to watch her tearing up video last night on the news pathetic. She's tearing up because she doesn't want the country to go backward???????? Her whole campaign was let's relive the 90's. She's tearing up because she was the only one to save us??????? Pathetic. Add in the King insults and Mr. bill comparing her to mandella and I can't wait to say adious. After this nonsense, I hope she goes into retirement. I am praying that she gets blown out by 20 points. Bring on the republicans.

Do you think it's a good idea to publish this stuff before the polls close? I really worry about that.

It's just a frickin' hotel resort.

The voters are employees of the hotel.

here comes a criticism.

I know it's a tiny percentage of the NH voting populace, but can we please keep form announcing results while other people have yet to even vote?

All the media report the results of these two little villages every election cycle. It's part of history, is fun and the results are generally meaningless. I watched the voting and counting live last night on CNN. Will you people lighten up for pete's sake.

Am I the only one who has an intensely negative reaction to having to read reports about Dixville Notch? Just cause a couple old farts stay up late to vote every four years so they can get on TV, does it really need to be reported?
