First Result: Obama

So the small New Hampshire town of Dixville Notch was the first town to have its presidential votes finally tallied. The result favored Obama, 15 votes for him and 6 for McCain. Amazingly, 100% of this tiny amount of voters came to the polls. While this city doesn't symbolize any trends for the nation or state, it still puts Obama out in front. It also is telling that the city is craving change considering the past two election have been landslides for Bush. Since New Hampshire is a swing state, the results could potentially lead to a cascade in Obama's favor. We will have to wait and see...
