For the first time since Hubert Humphrey, the tiny town of Dixville Notch has gone Democratic. With the polls opening at just after midnight, all 21 eligible voters had voted and the results tabulated by 6:30 am. I imagine they broke for breakfast somewhere after voting.
Now, Dixville Notch’s not a bellwether state in any sense of the word. For 40 years, however, they’ve been voting for the GOP. This year, it went 71% for Obama. We can only hope that in a few years we all won’t be singing “Whatever became of Obama? Has anyone heard a thing?”
