Obama Wins Dixville Notch!!!

Barack Obama -- 15

John McCain -- 6

Big upset, GOP always wins Dixville

UPDATE FROM HOWIE: Dixville Notch, New Hampshire has 75 residents and 21 registered voters. They just voted at midnight-- and the winner is... Barack Obama, a huge break with tradition for an overwhelmingly Republican bastion. The last Democrat to win there was Hubert Humphrey in 1968. Obama took 15 votes, McCain 6 and Nader 0. Jeanne Shaheen also won. And the other hamlet that votes at midnight, Hart's Location, population 42, also gave Obama a win-- 17-10.
