Dixville Notch is in!

The first vote in the primaries is over. In a small town with 17  voters, Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, has already cast its ballots. There are only 2 Democrats (one brand new this month) voting tonight, 3 Republicans and the rest Independents. And the results:

For the Republicans:
Giuliani: 1
Romney: 2
McCain: 4
Huckabee: 0

For the Democrats:
Edwards: 2
Richardson: 1
Obama: 7
Clinton: 0

Out of 17 votes cast, 7 went to Obama.

So that's it for now. It's on!

BTW, for historical perspective, Wesley Clark won for the Dems in 2004 and Bush won for the GOP in 2000. Neither of those candidates ended up winning those primaries.

•  Who-hoo. We got more indies. 8-4.

  That's awesome.  Let's hope this continues.

•  Given the latest round of Clinton diaries

  One can only wonder how they will spin this.

  It's the result of Obama attacks?

  Obama outspent her?

  Hillary is being attacked by the vast left wing conspiracy?

•  Only 3 registered Republicans in that town?

  Sounds like heaven.  Also sounds like Chicago.

  •  Please E-Mail Me names of those 3 Rs in Chicago

    And I'll have my people get right on it. Daley is usually so good with litter & trash pickup.

•  Ah...

  ...The quaint peculiarity of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire.

  I say that with all the harumphing haughtiness of someone from Massachusetts.

  I understand that is not a comment on the results themselves, but even so.

•  That's another notch in Obama's belt...

  The rumor is that O'Bama is getting the Irish vote, too.
