The last Democrat to win Dixville Notch was Humphrey in 1968.

So it's most likely going to McCain, as it appears to be a very conservative town. If that happens, don't freak out.

Of course, if Obama wins, it might indicate a major shift.

Here is how past elections went:

2004:

Bush: 19
Kerry: 7

2000:

Bush: 21
Gore: 5

1996:

Dole: 18
Clinton: 8

1992:

Bush Senior: 15
Perot: 8
Marrou: 5
Clinton: 2

1988:

Bush Senior: 34
Dukakis: 3

1984:

Reagan: 29
Mondale: 1

1980:

Reagan: 17
Carter 3

1976:

Ford: 13
Carter: 11

1972:

Nixon: 16
McGovern 3

1968:

Humphrey: 8

Goldwater: 8

1. I thought this was the one that correctly predicted the winner every year...

... I've got it confused with something else, dont I?

[Drunken Irishman]

2. Looks like it.

Maybe it's another town that votes early?

5. No, you're thinking of major league baseball if the leading team in the AL east is up by 3 games...

No, wait... that's not it. If it's raining in Seattle the Halloween before Election day, then the Republicans will win in an election year ending in 4, 6 or 8. No, hold on--- let me google this...

8. Look at the results ... these folks are just low info assholes in the middle of nowhere.

9. That's the legend....... nt

3. Are those numbers representative of the actual residents? In other words, there are less than 30

people in the town?

[Drunken Irishman]

4. Yes, it's a very small town.

I didn't include those candidates who got less than the two major party candidates (Clinton in 1992 was the only major party candidate who finished in 3rd place there).

Dixville Notch has a population of 75.

6. Got it.

7. LOL. Dixville Notch isn't a town at all. It's a grand resort hotel; The Balsams

That's it. That's all there is to Dixville Notch.

10. Hence the Repugnant (corporate) lean.

[cali]

12. Yep. I think that's about it.

Absolutely drop dead gorgeous place though- in the middle of 15,000 acres with private lakes and it's own ski mountain. There's really nothing around. It really is isolated.

11. Wonder if that Mondale voter is still around

[On the Road]

13. When Do We Find Out?

Is that the place that opens the polls at midnight and we get the results the same night?

[Drunken Irishman]

15. Yup! So about two hours.

14. Great Thread!!!

One is truly a political junkie if they know what Dixville Notch is. Drunken Irishman, I salute you. :toast:
