The significance of the Dixville Notch, NH vote.

Advertisements [?]

DIXVILLE NOTCH, New Hampshire (CNN) – Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama emerged victorious in the first election returns of the 2008 presidential race, winning 15 of 21 votes cast in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire.

People in the isolated village in New Hampshire’s northeast corner voted just after midnight Tuesday.

It was the first time since 1968 that the village leaned Democratic in an election.

Oh, and they have correctly predicted the eventual national winner 70% of the time.
How sweet it is.
