(or "The D.N.", as it's trendier residents call it...)

[PavePusher]

23. Huh? Who say's they're Mormons? n/t

[Ken Burch]

30. It was a joke.

I'll add the sarcasm smiley later.

[PavePusher]

32. My bad, I'm rather sleep deprived this week.

It has really weird effects on my joke sensory skills. Bleh.

[boppers]

2. Whoa, Huntsman tied Romney?

Also, no Santorum!

[MADem]

17. He's been working the state while everyone else was in Iowa...nt

[sarge43]

21. If this trend continues,

NH is going to mess with the country's mind yet again. Hee.

Three things flatlanders never get. 1. These folks take their politics straight and seriously. 2. They really don't like being told what to do. Speak your mind and they'll judge. 3. They value their privacy. Ranting about what is going on in the bedroom and what the gov't should do about it does not make any points in Graniteland.

3. So with no Democratic contest

Obama got 20% of the total votes cast.

[tabatha]

4. Nope, he got 1/3 = 3/9.

There are 2 Dems, 3 Reps and 4 Ind.

Hence Obama got 2 Dems + 1 other.

[Drunken Irishman]

8. He got the two Democratic votes and 1 independent...

Not bad for a guy running uncontested.

[Tx4obama]

10. And in all actuality Obama got 100%

of the votes cast in the Democratic primary for that town.

Since the Democratic and Republican primaries are separate.

So, apparently NO ONE voted 'uncommitted' in the Democratic primary

[Tx4obama]

5. Saw on Twitter that Dixville Notch has about 74 people and only 9 folks voted.

@thinkprogress ThinkProgress
Dixville Notch, NH has a population of about 74 people. Only 9 voted. In the GOP primary its Huntsman 2, Romney 2, Gingrich 1, Paul 1.

Seems to me that since they knew the media will be reporting on their votes/town that more folks would have come out to vote!

[tabatha]

6. 9/74 = 12%

Can all 74 vote?

[elleng]

15. Local person interviewed, on CNN, said used to be 17 voters,

but since hotel, wherein voting takes place, recently sold, population has decreased; hence, 9 voting now.

[Smarmie Doofus]

7. And as Dixville Notch goes.....

.... so goes Bean's Purchase.

11. And ZERO votes for Vermin Supreme (D-MA)

Have ya'll heard of this democratic nut that's running for president?
video here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10175707

[Bolo Boffin]

14. He's a protest candidate.

Think Stephen Colbert with much less popular support and a slightly looser grip on reality.

Did you see him in the lesser known candidates forum on C-SPAN? They sat him in front of anti-abortion fanatic Randall Terry (who's running as a Democrat because that's the kind of fuckhead he is). Anyway, Vermin Supreme ended his closing remarks by sprinkling Terry with confetti to turn him gay.

[Tx4obama]

16. Yes, that is what is on the video link I posted in my previous comment ...

that video link is a compilation of some of his answers to the questions and towards the end of the video it shows him tossing the confetti

[gateley]

34. 2012's Lee Mercer Jr? nt

[Sky Masterson]

18. Santorum didn't froth in to the mix I guess

.

[tclambert]

19. Obama wins Dixville Notch!

[JJW]

20. It's a fake event folks

No one actually lives in Dixonville anymore. But then again the entire election process is a fake event with the candidates selected (anointed) via funding by the top 1%. The 99% only select between to corporate sell-out candidates that will do the same things, once in office.

It really isn't even an election, more like a beauty contest, Miss Congeniality. Who looks most Presidential? Who wears the best clothes, who looks most like us? Who has the best looking family? Who practices the best Americanized religion? Who pretends to care about us best. We really know none of them give a flying squat about us and will do everything possible to pick our pockets for their corporate sponsors.

And the majority of Americans know this, and no longer vote.

[aquart]

31. Anyone who doesn't vote is an idiot.

And anyone who encourages people not to vote is much worse.

[zanana1]

24. In Hart's Location.....

He got more votes than any of the Republican candidates. (He got 10 votes). It ain't much, but it's funny as hell.

[Ian David]

25. I wish Roemer and Supreme had gotten votes. n/t

[Ian David]

26. Here's a photo of the first Dixville Notch resident casting his vote...

[onehandle]

27. Which candidate does casting a groundhog get you? nt

[rocktivity]

28. If I learned anything from 2008

it's that Dixville Notch results should NOT be taken lightly:

Obama 16
Edwards 3
Clinton 3
Richardson 1

McCain 10
Huckabee 5
Romney 3
Giuliani 1

29. Thanks, rock!

However electorate in Dixville Notch has shrunken since then, due to sale of the hotel, so may (or may not) be as reflective.

[Star]

35. Per NPR this morning

The Dixville Notch vote has predicted the primary winner in every election since 1960!

[Brickbat]

33. Two hundred "journalists" were there. Pathetic.
