Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has won in the two US towns that traditionally open US election voting.

In Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, he won 15 votes to his Republican rival John McCain's six, becoming the first Democrat to win there since 1968.

In Hart's Location he won 17 votes, while Mr McCain won 10, and Ron Paul two, showing 100% voter turnout.

Results from the rest of the US are expected from 2300 GMT as citizens elect their 44th president.

Hart's Location began the practice of voting early in 1948 so that railroad employees could vote before going to work.

Maybe Republicans haven't "gone liberal." Maybe new people have moved in.

[ari-freedom]

how will we *ever* make them up?

[Fred]

I pretty sure Dole lost in hokieville.

[liberateUS]

Guess it’s time to throw in the towel!!!

[Lovebloggers]

If you look at their primary numbers it does appear that Democrats have taken over the small town.

This just in, Hitler wins election in Germany by a wide margin....Peace in our time predicted.

[outofstyle]

pretty sure Dole lost in hokieville.

That's encouraging.

Me bad

1968 General Election: (12 voters)
* Hubert H. Humphrey II - 8
* Richard M. Nixon - 4

Nixon still won

[Maddox]

It’s sickening. Most of the late night local news over here in SoCal opened up with the press conference announcement of Obama winning these small towns. They are all filled with joy or as one local newscaster said “it paints a grim picture for McCain”.

[Jezebelle]

Hmmmmph! They could have at least waited until the polls closed in the Dixville Notch panhandle to call it!!

(ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Parents will have fewer years to instill their values in their children, as earlier and earlier education becomes the norm. Judeo-Christian values, the founding values of America, will continue to recede in influence as America becomes more and more a secular-left country like those of Western European. And when all this -- and much more -- transforms America, not one American will be able to argue they didn't know.

The last time these folks went Democrat was when Humphrey ran against Nixon... That was a banner year for Humphrey and the Democrats - he got 42.72% of the vote and Wallace, the Democrat Racist, got a whopping 13.54% of the vote.

Thankfully, Nixon won with 43.42% and 301 electoral votes.

That’s roughly how many electoral votes that I predict McCain gets today - 300.

They called this race for Barack Hussein Obama over four years ago, at the 2004 DNC.

He’s unstoppable and brings hope and change.

[Reuptake]

Try and keep some perspective. It’s meaningless.

[Son House]

Yep, Minnesota previously, Twin Cities were be counted first and then when the outlying areas were counted Republican counts went way up

[southlake_hoosier]

becoming the first Democrat to win there since 1968.

History repeating itself. I have been saying all year this is just like 1968, and here we are, another Republican victory is here!!!
