Hart's Location is a great name for a town.

I love that they do this.

MSNBC said:
"Hart's Location had eight Democrats, eight Republicans and 13 undeclared."

If the people down party lines, that would mean the independents voted 8 in the Republican primary and 5 in the Democratic.

Also, results from CNN show that in the 2004 general, it was
Bush 16
Kerry 14
Nader 1

It looks like they probably haven't changed much since in 2004 there was only 2 votes difference between Bush and Kerry, and one vote for Nader. Now there were 16 votes in the Rep Primary and 13 in the Dem.

Just for the record, for the most part, the debate and comments here are pretty cool-headed and good. Sure, there are those posting the requisite 'Goldwater Girl" BS along with others who are parroting their candidates talking points.

But at least we aren't dealing with flat out sexist/racist statements of the kind found on mainstream networks like MSNBC and Politico.

Here's to a happy Primary Day, democrats. Some of us will win a battle here, and some of us will lose, but take heart, for those who do not gain victory here today: All of us win because of the fantastic choice available to us.

And to those in NH: Don't forget to vote early tomorrow morning or in the afternoon. Most polls close at 7 EST.

Angry Vet -

Yes we know. The Goldwater Gal is a horrible victim. Oh, Boo hoo.

You're so darn tired of the "mean" treatment she gets. You're not just a sore loser. No, you're a real champion of long suffering and disadvantaged women like Hillary everywhere.

Despite having the inside track, her husband being the only, and automatic best, Democratic President in nearly three decades, having all the corporate donors, and being considered "inevitable" for almost all of 2007, she's really had it rough.

It's not like she lost this by being a lousy candidate, or her supporters were delusional. No, there must be some conspiracy to blame, to explain how the MSM really wanted a black man with a funny name who was a total outsider. Becasue, don't they every year? Isn't that exactly what they're always pulling?

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of self delusion, totally irrational theories, and outright whininess I hear from Hillary supporters.

Obama got more than any Republican.

In Dixville Notch, he got as many as ALL Republicans combined.

In two towns that tend strongly towards Republicans.

Wow.

This could be even bigger than I thought.

More like worst actress. She has so many tells and tics, the idea of her negotiating with enemies is terrifying.

Watch the video and her debates. Every time she repeats a focus tested word from her handlers, she has tics. Commonly she pauses for a second, then emphasizes it heavily, with her voice goign up a bit, and she often looks away momentarily to recall training.

Why? Because people talk and act very differently when remembering a script then when speaking from sincerity.

You see presenters at conventions and such doing this all the time when they're emphasizing buzz words and catch phrases they don't really understand but have been drilled into them. By comparison technical people who actually understand what they're saying don't have these issues, becasue they can change language to rephrase issues on the fly, so they're not trying to recall the right words, which uses different areas of the brain.

From what I've read the same is true of interrogation techniques, testimony, and it appears to be very true for politicians as well.

You can see it in the video on the word "passion" for example. And then again later when she's talking about experience and being right and prepared and all that.

Ron Paul is a modern age Thomas Jefferson. If you could go back in time and ask the forefathers what they would do to make America a better place, they would give the same answer as Ron Paul.

"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."

Mark Twain

I hope Ron Pauls wins it and restores the Democracy we were meant to have. Bias is a powerful force, it most be overcome in order to move forward.

kozmik,

I believe Angry Vet is actually supporting Obama. And this is just my two cents, but I do think it is both polite and good politics to give the supporters of other candidates a break on days in which there will be winners and losers. Because after all is said and done through the primary process, the Democrat's goal will eventually be to unite everyone behind the nominee.

bridoc wrote on January 8, 2008 9:06 AM:

These first two results are actually a little bit more interesting if you take into account that they both went for Wes Clark in 2004, and Wes Clark now supports Hillary, but apparently even that "edge" doesn't give Hillary any help, and both villages(?) go strongly for Obama despite the Wes Clark connection with Hillary.

Anyway, I thought that was interesting and worth mentioning.

I have a feeling that the Ron Paul Campaign is about to "shock the world".

He probably won't win the primary..but people are going to take notice when he comes in third statewide.

I defended the constitution for over 12 years in the United States Army before I was injuried.

Do you people remember the constitution?

I was once a down the ticket voter for the Democratic party but their is only one consistent Democratic Presidential candidate running and that party will not vote for a "true" Democrat. That would be Dennis Kucinich.

The "other" Democrats like to say they are anti-war, but you can't be anti-war if you vote for war or you vote to fund a war your say your against.

If I'm against the Wal-Mart Corporation and its practices, should I be bulk shopping at Sam's Club?

Ron Paul on the other hand has read the constitution, has read the Patriot Act, has read the intellengence reports.

People, vote your conscience.

Dear Kozmik,

Angry Vet is not a Clinton Supporter. He is an Obama supporter, just like you and I are Obama supporters. If you will forgive my presumption, I think that he is right to take issue with the taunts and vilifications against Sen Clinton and her supporters. They do our guy no great favors. When he claims the nomination in a few months he is going to need the votes of those same Clinton supporters, so burning our bridges to them is not good politics. We are all on the same side in the long run, and it behooves us to keep that in mind.
