People-to-people snickering
From Associated Press regarding early voting in New Hampshire:
Residents of two tiny towns stayed up late to give Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain early victories in the New Hampshire presidential primary.
In Hart’s Location, Obama received 9 votes, Hillary Rodham Clinton 3 and John Edwards 1. On the Republican side, McCain received 6 votes, Mike Huckabee 5, Ron Paul 4 and Mitt Romney 1.
In Dixville Notch, Obama got 7 votes, Edwards 2 and Bill Richardson 1. Among Republicans, McCain got 4 votes, Romney 2 and Rudy Giuliani 1. [...]
Long-shot GOP hopeful Rep. Duncan Hunter attended the vote in Dixville Notch, where results were announced before 12:06 a.m.
“It epitomizes people-to-people politicking,” Hunter said minutes before the votes were cast.
Hunter received no votes in either town.
Poor Dunky.
MORE: It may not mean much, but Dixville Notch has voted overwhelmingly Republican in primaries since their midnight voting began in 1960 and this year more people showed up to vote for Dems than Repubs for the first-time ever in mutually contested races. The only other time people voting for Dems outnumbered Repubs was in 2004, but Bush, as you know, was running uncontested then.
