You should see the reaction to this over on the Free Republic. The Freepers/Freetards are eating their shirts.

Oh no, this is appalling � did the Massholes sneak something in the water up there? What would possess the residents of this usually R. little town to vote for Snobama?
NH will never be the same again.....
But, hell, it�s only 15 voters - they could have been seduced by the drugs..... hope it�s not a trend! |

Go Bradley! |

Obama Sweeps Early NH Towns, Ron Paul Gets Write-In
November 3rd, 2008
Obama won big in the two New Hampshire towns that tally their votes in the early hours of the morning on Election Day.
Obama carried the town of Hart�s Location by a vote of 17 to 10 for McCain. Ron Paul received 2 write-in votes.
In Dixville Notch, Obama beat McCain by a count of 15 to 6.
With 115 residents between them, Dixville Notch and Hart�s Location get every eligible voter to the polls beginning at midnight on Election Day. Between them, the towns have been enjoying their first-vote status since 1948.
Hart�s Location started opening its polls early in 1948, the year Harry S. Truman beat Thomas Dewey, to accommodate railroad workers who had to get to work early. Hart�s Location got out of the early voting business in 1964 after some residents grew weary of all the publicity, but brought it back in 1996.
Dixville Notch, nestled in a mountain pass 1,800 feet up and about halfway between the White Mountain National Forest and the Canadian border, followed suit in 1960, when John F. Kennedy beat Richard M. Nixon. Nixon, the Republican, swept all nine votes cast in Dixville that year, and before Tuesday, the town had gone for a Democrat only once since then. That was in 1968, when the tally was Democrat Hubert Humphrey eight, Nixon four. |

Guam Vote Partially Counted
November 4th, 2008
Partian returns from Guam, as of 7:30 a.m. Pacific time, are: Obama 8,796; McCain 5,355; Barr 97.
Although the Barr vote looks puny, it works out to .68%. In 2004, Libertarian presidential nominee Michael Badnarik polled .20% in Guam. Thanks to IndependentPoliticalReport for these returns.
Although no presidential candidate visisted Guam this year, there was a Democratic presidential primary in Guam this year, and Obama did have a campaign office in Guam, which helped him beat Hillary Clinton in this year�s Guam Democratic presidential primary.
