DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. – Barack Obama came up a big winner in the presidential race in Dixville Notch and Hart's Location, N.H., where tradition of having the first Election Day ballots tallied lives on.

Democrat Obama defeated Republican John McCain by a count of 15 to 6 in Dixville Notch, where a loud whoop accompanied the announcement. The town of Hart's Location reported 17 votes for Obama, 10 for McCain and two for write-in Ron Paul. Independent Ralph Nader was on both towns' ballots but got no votes.


President Bush won the votes in Dixville Notch and Hart's Location in 2004 on the way to his re-election.

4. I just looked up Dixville Notch's record of voting for president

Since 1960, they have almost always voted for the Republican, with the odd exception of voting for Humphrey in 1968.

5. While obviousl;y tiny numbers, these are significant results.

If I'm McCain, I'd be preparing myself for a significant landslide.
