I just looked it up on the Atlas here: Hart's Location was Bush 17 Gore 13 in 2000. So a 2 vote switch, same as Dixville Notch. Hart's Location seems to be a pretty good national bellwhether.

Maybe, but NH is almost a home state advantage for Kerry, so it may not be so bad for Bush.

Hubert Humphrey won there.  No one there much liked Richard Nixon.

[Nym90]

The results by town on the Atlas only go back to 1980, but every Republican since then has won Dixville Notch, and Hart's Location went Republican every year except 1992 when it went for Perot. Bush got more votes than Clinton that year, so this is the first time since 1976 (at least, probably even longer) that a Democrat has managed to tie a Republican in either of the two towns.

Ok, now I really am going to bed. This is too much!

Correction:

Jimmy Carter almost won there.

1976
Gerald Ford 13
Jimmy Carter 11
Eugene McCarthy 1

The one time a Democrat won Dixsville Notch.
1968
Hubert Humphrey 8
Richard Nixon 4

I think I'm starting to lose it now.

Nixon lost here and still won the election.

Damn, SamSpade beat me to it...

A 15.3 point swing. Of course a point is less than a voter, but still.....

We had lives at one point?

So I've been told.  Don't believe it myself however.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I'll be analysing the results when the election is over and getting reading for next years UK election

Life? What Is "Life"?
Ah yes... it's a 15 year tariff placed on someone convicted of a serious offense by a Judge.
It can be as high as "Life meaning Life".

Don't want one of those thank you very much

Someone explain to me why these towns have already released their results when most people haven't even voted yet...

Basically these are weird little towns in the middle of nowhere which happen to like a little bit of free publicity every election

sleep... go to bed at a reasonable hour (instead of looking at poll results over and over)
actually talk to friends.
reply to emails when on computer (instead of looking at poll results.... over and over)

So can we predict a doubling of the Nader vote!?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Er... everyone... maybe two sleepy hamlets in NH aren't the best bellwethers around?

Yes they are.

[Platypus]

Al, I don't care; at this stage Kerry is (comparatively) winning

So, is this a 'sign' that Nader is going to do twice as well this year as in 2000?

LOL!
