Obama sweeps first NH towns, ex-Bush strongholds


Go, Dixville Notch and Hart's Location, NH! Those tiny NH towns have a tradition that everyone votes early, early, early so that their results can be posted first in the nation on Election Day.

They voted at midnight. Obama won by a mile. In Dixville Notch, ("where a loud whoop accompanied the announcement" of the results) 15 Obama votes and 6 McCain. In Hart's Location, 17 O, 10 McC, and two write-in votes for Ron Paul. No votes for Nader, who was on the ballot.

This is where Bush easily beat Kerry four years ago. A Democrat hasn't won here since 1968. A good sign, I hope!
