What the hell is in the coffee (0.00 / 0)

at Hart's Landing that 10 people voted McCain?

Well if we are to read anything into this, perhaps it's that indeed many Republicans will just sit this one out. And more power to 'em!

Maybe it's part of the libertarian conspiracy taking over NH (0.00 / 0)

No,that's not a joke, and not a crazy conspiracy theory, either. There really is an organized movement among libertarians to take over NH:

"The Free State Project is a plan in which 20,000 or
more liberty-oriented people will move to a single
state of the U.S., where they may work within the
political system to reduce the size and scope of
government.
New Hampshire is that state!
New Hampshire offers us the most existing political
advantages to facilitate the achievement of our goals."
http://freestateproject.org/fi...

And you know how those libertarians are, just as lunatic as communists. They really believe their fancy dream of a society could work. And in this election, they are torn between their liberal views and their economic ideology. Even the latest evidence that total deregulation doesn't work doesn't seem to make an impact on them. No surprise many of them will still vote for McVain.

Sheesh! (0.00 / 0)

I say let's just lump the crazed Libertarians and Rapture crowd into one state. They'll be able to forward each other's agenda, and we can be rid of them both in one fell swoop!

Let it be remembered (4.00 / 2)

That Open Left was the first media outlet to call the election.

Actual returns! Cool! (0.00 / 0)

 Because if those had been exit polls, I would have run away screaming, never to return.

I'm going to vote when the polls open.

Then I'm going to do GOTV in south-central PA this morning.

 Then I'm going to work the polls in my home county (Frederick, MD) in the afternoon.

 I will do everything humanly possible to avoid coming within fifty miles of an exit poll.

 So no media for me today after breakfast.

Good job on those of you up this early (0.00 / 0)

I know in some places volunteers are already gathering so poll watchers can get in before the polls open.

One more day!

maybe some of them voted absentee (0.00 / 0)

early, hence the relatively low number of voters in person at midnight.

Uh, only 21 registered voters, and every of them voted! (0.00 / 0)

There may be some absentee ballots among those, but it still is a weirdly low share of registered voters among those 75 people. Do they have a baby boom, maybe? Or a crime spree that resulted in an unusual high number of conviceted felons?

NH will not go GOP again (0.00 / 0)

the "Live Free or Die" state is not going to go for the GOP ever again -- meaning, I believe, that the Republican party will collapse and reform before it votes the way it did in 2000. If there's one group that came over early to the Dems, it was the libertarian types (and NH is sort of 'culturally' libertarian, not doctrinal.) Round about the same time as the Log Cabin Republicans, really.
