The town's ~25-odd registered voters all gather to cast their ballots at midnight, and the polls are closed one minute later. Then the votes are counted.
The Notch got smaller due to the Obama economy. The hotel they usually have the election in got torn down.
(We’ll ignore that they are going to rebuild.)
New England has remained and gotten bluer.
A generation ago, small towns like these would have gone R. Its probably a good read of voting trends in NE and the Northeast but not much else.
And this is the only region of the country in which O has a strong lead so these two towns’ vote comes as no surprise.
You cannot read anything into it as a synedoche for the country.
Can’t trust cats. They are irreverent, uncontrollable and often unpredictable. All these traits make them endearing to me.
I was responding to frivolity of the whole thread in respects to the hidden meanings of common things of course.
Paragraphs and punctuation are our friends.
Understood.
Don’t worry about the rest of the country!
About the only region O is guaranteed to carry today besides the Northeast is the Left Coast, HI and the Delaware in the Mountain West - NM. All the rest of the country - the Mountain West, the Plains States, the Midwest and the South will go Red.
Interesting. I wish I lived in small town like that.
Disturbing from Harts location. We can mock the results, but BUSH WON here guys.
I live in a small Mountain West town. My state is going R this year.
NE is deeply in the tank for The One. Its just impossible for the GOP to win there nowadays.
In my youth, NH, VT and CT were reliable Red States. Now both of the latter are Deep Blue and NH is a swing state.
Statistically irrelevant. Obama did lose two votes on his margin, if that makes you feel any better.
I am in California we are BLUE ugh.
The demographics have changed!
Harts like NE - is overwhelmingly Democrat and liberal. Its hard to find a Republican there these days.
Romney might win NH but its very difficult due to the demographics. O won big in 2008 and Kerry easily took the state in 2004.
Like I said, NE is just a tough place for Republicans to win. Its just not worth the time or the effort.
Ooooh! Oooh!
A chance for me to bring up my favorite thing I ever learned on the internet.
Did you know there is an International Rock Paper Scissors Championship held every year in Toronto, with a $10,000 first prize for the champion? I kid you not!

I used to live there. I left that God-fosaken place years ago.
I’m happy my state has repented of its vote for the Obamessiah. Reason is returning to much of America, thank Heaven!
Me too..but, there are Props to vote on tomorrow that need to be taken down, 30 & 38! except for 32, which needs a YES vote..cheers fellow CA.
LOL. That MIGHT explain it.
Republicans in Blue States are political orphans - they never get visited by national candidates nor does the GOP blanket their states with commercials.
I do feel your pain! Your vote at the most can help to hold down O’s national margin - if that makes you feel any better. People vote nowadays more predictably in this country.
Ronald Reagan would never win a landslide today. I don’t think we’ll see a President like him again in our lifetime.
Well, I do love to live a mile or so outside of a small town, but really not that small. LOL.
It’s the race card.
Were a white Democrat to do half of what Obama has done, he would make Jimmy Carter look like a champeen.
White guilt plays a part in it.
That is why people give O a pass for stuff that would have sunk a white Democrat.
In an ironic sense, O is very much a beneficiary of his skin color, no matter how much the Left screams “racism” like a broken record.
