FFS?

wow...a voice of calm and reason

pack mentality has always been the bane of this forum regardless of the issue

it’s one thing to be skeptical of polls, it’s quite another to think they are all one grand conspiracy

Based on the votes from Hart’s Location and Dixville Notch, this is where things stand:

Obama - 32 (64%)
McCain - 16 (32%)
Ron Paul - 2 (4%)

I’m guessing there are a number of pollsters that are upset that they really underestimated Obama’s strength at this point. LOL!

Everyone should head to bed, say a prayer, get lots of sleep, vote and make sure others do the same!

Well said! I think the voters in these small towns know that there will be much publicity given to their voting results.

I think, what a lot of people here are overlooking is that this election is different. If little town goes McCain, little town becomes racist by default to all of America. The national publicity and the race factor are what many people are overlooking here.

Harts Location is also in a way PUBLIC voting (its been doing it since 1996). They both had way more votes for Obama than Hillary. Hillary won NH. Its cause they know their vote will be THE FIRST to be shown (Harts Location isnt shown on TV, but theyre released early). So, I would discount these votes. Lets get real, folks. They went for Bob Dole in 1996 and GW Bush in 2004 (2 losses, 1 win, Bush in 2000). The Dixville Notch went for Humphrey in 68 (loss), Ford in 76 (loss), Bush I in 92 (loss), Dole in 96 (loss) and Bush in 04 (loss). Since 1968, Dixville Notch has only picked the winner very few times (Reagan 80, 84, Bush Sr. 88, Nixon 72). Take it for what you will. Heck, even if Mac loses NH, he can still win. NH has been trending Democratic. For it to go for Humphrey in a time when NH was very reliably Republican shows how useless these numbers really are.

In the 1992 primaries, the Libertarian Party candidate received more votes than Dole or Clinton in Dixville Notch. In the general election, the Libertarian candidate received more than twice the votes as Slick Willie. These publicity-seeking small NH towns are not trend-setters.

Which means that Kerry should have won. The “Redskins Rule” is, if they lose, the party currently in control of the White House loses the election. Republicans controlled the White House and they won the election.

Your post explains why Hart's Notch went for Obama. People with a vested business interest in wooing customers coming into this hamlet for gay marriages, gay vacations, gay honeymoons and gay "romantic escapes" will vote their pocketbooks.

In this case, Obama, the panderer to gay rights, comes out on top.

“After a victorious showing in the Iowa caucuses, where votes were cast publicly, polls predicted that Obama would also capture the New Hampshire Democratic primary election by a large margin over Hillary Clinton, a white senator. However, Clinton defeated Obama by three points in the New Hampshire race, where ballots were cast secretly, immediately initiating suggestions by some analysts that the Bradley effect may have been at work.”

So has New Hampshire’s motto changed from “Live free or die” to “Give me some pie”?

Well, there will be lots of blame to go around tomorrow. I don't think most people here realize the depth of the people's anger at, and contempt for, Bush.

It's not the 25% approval that's the real problem. It's what's in the heads of the 75% that's important.

They are willing to see the country destroyed (radically transformed), such is the depth of their anger.

I don't really understand it, but it's all over up here - and I live in a rural small town that went for Bush twice.

New Hampshire is 98% white, and while we do have crunchy Volvo drivers who care about race, none of them live up in the north woods.

That's just not a factor.

Hart’s Location (pop. 42), opened in 1991. Innkeepers Les Schoof and Edward Butler, together for

So that explains it — the voters are now employees at the Gay Inn.

We were relying on hope that the polls were missing the rural vote and oversampling Dems.

If the polls weren't oversampling Democrats, the GOP is a in world of trouble no doubt about it.

Not really. 30 votes in 2000, 31 votes in 2004, 29 votes this year. That’s pretty consistent.

Uh, oh - an insurmountable lead for Nappy Nazi in Hart's Location and Dixville Notch.

Has McCain conceded yet?
