5. Hope that's an indication

That must HURT the freepers!

[crossroads]

7. Damn that Nader!

Scumbag!
:bounce:

[TahitiNut]

8. That's a 6.7% shift away from Bush in a Republican area.

It's better news than the other way, for sure.

9. Interesting note...

just linked to CNN and they have Bush at 19 and Kerry at 7. They just can't stop lying for Der Bushmeister,can they? Despicable.

10. We only got five

votes in Dixville Notch in 2000. This is good. We picked up two.

[ProgressiveDave]

11. you might be confused...

Dixville Notch did go for Bush 19-7...
the story this thread is about is Hart's Location, tho- not dixville notch...different hamlets.

12. Yahoo story updated with new results...

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041102/ap_on_el_pr/eln_first_votes&cid=694&ncid=716

Hart's Location:
16, Bush. 14, Kerry. 1, Nader.

Hart's Location ('00):
17, Bush. 13, Kerry.

Dixville Notch:
19, Bush. 7, Kerry.

Dixville Notch ('00):
25, Bush. 5, Gore. 1, Nader.

VERY interesting to note that Bush has LOST votes since the last election and the Democratic canidate has GAINED votes. And all this, in Middle O' Nowhere, NH. This bodes well for our candidate!

13. maybe that nader is

drawing some repuke votes.

[leftchick]

15. my MIL will not vote for bush*...

Repuke her whole life and at 76 can not vote for bush*. She watches way too much faux though and can't bring herself to vote for John Kerry. My hubby was trying to convince her to vote Kerry or stay home because a vote for nader is like a vote for bush*.

[Devils Advocate NZ]

17. How, in this situation, is a vote for Nader like a vote for Bush?

Either way, Bush loses a vote, and Kerry doesn't gain a vote, so what is the difference?

[JoFerret]

19. Technically correct but

votes give twerpoid encouragement. Maybe another time he will be a significant factor. (Kerry in a landslide).

[Born Free]

14. all those that voted for Gore voted for Kerry

and many that voted for the bush coward voted for Kerry - this will happen accross America, there is no way Kerry can lose if they count all the votes. The people of Anmerica are waking up, crawling out from under their beds and deciding it's time to "Move-on" back to peace and prosperity

[PROGRESSIVE1]

16. kick

[DemocracyInaction]

18. This is my territory, so to speak and this place really is a

republican area. If they split, then the handwriting is definitely on the wall!!! This would be akin to finding out that half of George's family voted Kerry!!!
