As Dixville Notch Goes . . .

. . . so goes New Hampsire?

Thirteen of the 17 voters of the hamlet on the border with Canada and many more reporters and camera crews turned out after midnight this morning as the first ballots were cast in the New Hampshire primary. Four residents voted by absentee ballot.

Dixville Notch has two Democrats, three Republicans and 12 independents.

The results were:

On the Democratic side, Barack Obama won in a “landslide” with 7 votes. John Edwards got 2 votes and Bill Richardson got 1. There were none for Hillary Clinton.

On the Republican side, John McCain got 4 votes, Mitt Romney 2 votes and Rudy Giuliani 1 vote.

By the by, Wesley Clark (remember him?) won Dixville Notch in 2004.

shaun,

Why don't you write a story comparing Senator Obama with the new mayor in Philadelphia, Mayor Nutter. Even though the real election in Philadelphia was held in May, the inaugural just happened. Isn't that what the U.S. is facing now with Senator Obama being the obvious President-elect a year before the inaugural. I also noticed that Mayor Nutter is a prep school, Ivy league educated black man who has worked his way up in city machine politics.

... "New Hampsire"? Is that kind of like New Jersy?
