DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. (AP) - Barack Obama came up a big winner in the presidential race in Dixville Notch and Hart's Location, N.H., where tradition of having the first Election Day ballots tallied lives on.
Democrat Obama defeated Republican John McCain by a count of 15 to 6 in Dixville Notch, where a loud whoop accompanied the announcement in Tuesday's first minutes. The town of Hart's Location reported 17 votes for Obama, 10 for McCain and two for write-in Ron Paul. Independent Ralph Nader was on both towns' ballots but got no votes.


I can sleep now the returns are in

Also, Bush beat Kerry there 19 to 7. And Obama is the first Democrat to win there since 1968.

Let's hope it is a trend that continues!

Namo, if you would look at the population for Dixville Notch, you will see that it is a perfect microcosm for this great nation of ours.

The 19 for Obama were:
Liz the Soccer Mom
Bill the Alcoholic
Cindy the Receptionist
Jed the "Actor"
Charles the Guy who looks like Martin Sheen
Debbie the On Husband Number Six
Linda the Femi-Nazi
Mike the Proud Homosexual
Steven the Trial Lawyer
Greg the Tree Hugger
Abby the Attention-Seeker (she decided at 11:59!)
Megan the Graphic Designer
Jack the Flap-Jack Cook
William the Orange Picker
Beth the Student
Joan the Ark Builder
Sinbad the Sailor
Hussein the Terrorist
Bill the Protestor

The 7 for McCain were:
Joe the Plumber
Bethany the Bible-Thumper
Chester the Closeted Homosexual
David the Hunter
Lester the Oil Executive
Sarah the Hockey Mom
Pop the POW

The 2 for Paul were:
Ashley the Anarchist
Greg the Gold Digger (in the literal sense)


A perfect cross-section of the country.

And the none for Nader were the potheads too high to remember to vote for the guy who wants to legalize the pot that caused them to be so forgetful.

GO OBAMA!

I'm not going to begin looking at results until late in the afternoon or early evening. I also have to be braced for the worst when I wake up later this morning. It's not over until it's over.

Is this the same town that was shown on a couple of West Wing episodes? I believe it was Toby (or Josh) who insisted they had to win this little town if they wanted to win re-election.
