DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. (AP) — Voters in the tiny New Hampshire village famed for casting the first ballots in the nation’s first presidential primary have found themselves in a tie between Republicans Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman.

Nine ballots were cast in New Hampshire’s Dixville Notch just after midnight.

Romney and Huntsman received two votes each. Coming in second with one vote apiece were Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul.

For the Democrats, President Barack Obama received three votes.

The nine residents who cast their ballots include three registered Republicans and two registered Democrats. Four other voters haven’t declared a party.

I bet $100 dollars that the Lamestream will be spinning in the morning that Obummer got more votes than any one GOP Candidate. MSNBC will go wall to wall with it.

Punxsutawney Phil would do a better job of picking the President than the residents of Iowa and New Hampshire. Sick of these small inbred states punishing us with loser leftists as candidates.

Can RuPaul use this momentum to carry himself to victory ?

Neat little story. Thanks!

Huntsman? Lordy!

Has anyone verified his party affiliation? I swear the guy sounds like a bleeding heart liberal every time I hear him.

Help me out. Nine ballots cast but TEN votes? Haven’t had coffee yet. That must be the problem.

Ten registered voters, of which nine cast votes. That is how I read it just now.

At any rate, the media all throughout today better drop this "FRONTRUNNER" crap they keep saying before Romney's name now. At least when it comes to the vote count of an actual primary, he is not the exclusive front runner. Even in true GOP delegate total, I doubt you could say the word "frontrunner." They are so dishonest, because they want to pump him up so Obama can crush him like he did with McCain as well.

“What a rude & disgusting thing to say.”

***

What’s rude and disgusting is inbred yokels thinking they’re entitled to be first and second in the GOP nominee selection process, putting the candidates through a dog-and-pony show, and then trying to shove the McCains and Romneys down our throats.

Iowa and New Hampshire have demonstrated repeatedly they are manifestly unfit to sway the GOP nomination process. And after decades of screwing it up, it’s time for these tiny states with populations smaller than major cities to go to the back of the line. Ideally, they can spend every four years arguing about corn and maple syrup instead of pontificating stupidity masking as rural wisdom.

Have you seen MSNBC's "Lean Forward" ads?

Al Sharpton, 20-second bite tearing up Republicans as wanting to starve children and throw Granny in the snow, gold-plated, blackhearted bastards, etc.

Then a big MSNBC logo and "LEAN FORWARD". Outright partisanship justified and megaphoned.

He sounded in debate like a "competence liberal": "All liberals are competent, and all competent people are liberal. Conservatism is a guarantee of defectiveness."

But the significant fact here is that he's splitting Mittens's vote. Hmmmm.

There's another dinky little Red Hampshire rathole that votes 'early', but it doesn't get as much 'publicity' as Dixville Notch. Hart's Location cast FIVE votes for Romney, but Obama received TEN on the Democrat side.

Can you IMAGINE voting in the middle of the night FOR Barack Obama; even though he is essentially unopposed? (Well, there was Vermin Supreme...)

Hunstman is an idiot. While talking about Afghanistan he said something to the effect that, "The Commander in Chief listened to the leaders on the ground in Viet Nam in '67 and look where that got us." He was trying to point out that the president, as CinC, doesn't have to listen to the commanders in Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc. to decide what to do there.

What the hell kind of dope do these dopes smoke? I keep seeing these polls for Romney and Huntsman and just reel over backwards. Are NH morons THAT stupid? Inbred? Marrying their cousins up there? I don’t get it. But then again I can’t understand how 40 + % still give Obummer approval ratings!!!
