1. Looks to me like he loses, 15-11...

As long as Dems can hold together for the General election.

2. So what? We already knew NH always has nutty results.

IMHO, this primary means little except for the Northeasterners who MUST do well or lose face.

3. What a great photo! It makes me want to write a story about

the place!

Look at the sign! Look at the plump, white-haired man! And what's that stuff in the background--part of the hotel lobby? :)

7. I think it is the lobby

I just thougth it was strange that they would say that W received the most votes. He did out of Republicans but then who else is there?

[janx]

12. The rest of the employees of the hotel are there, of course!

This is wild and enticing as short story material.

4. I have to wonder...

Are there a lot of morans who saw that and think Bush beat Clark?

:crazy:

5. The other way to look at that is Dems 15 Bush 11 n/t

[janx]

6. Is there any other coverage of this place and this little election?

?

I'm Jonesing for just a few more details!

13. Thanks, but wind's thread doesn't really address the place.

I'll search on the Web and see if I can find some more details.

8. All the registered voters in Dixville Notch are employees of the hotel.

And their boss is counting the votes. Republican Heaven!

[salin]

9. and yet... fewer republican votes... not a good sign for bush.

wonder how the numbers will play statewide?

[janx]

14. Hell yes they're all employess of the hotel.

They have jobs!

This is great.

Is Dixville Notch an actual town, or is it a cluster of homes and a hotel, I wonder?

11. Riiiiiight...

let us ignore that the Democrats won 15 votes and the chimp 11. Who needs details? spin, spin, spin, spin, spin :grr:
