Bad news for John McCain already.  Dixville Notch, a reliably Republican town, casts 15 votes for Obama and 6 for McCain.

And (with one precinct in) Obama leads 71-29!  Surely, with only 99.999% of precincts remaining, McCain could never close this sort of gap.

Probably, but just keep this in the back of your mind

In 1968, Humphrey won Dixville Notch, Nixon won New Hampshire by a little more than 8 points, and won the national election.

Humphrey was going to lose anyway.. with McCains cousin Wallace taking away states and voters in the north.

Obama winning republicans of all people is something. Hasn't McCain been running around calling him a Libreal/ terrorist/ not ready to lead?

I think everyone knows to take this with a grain of salt.  We still have probably hundreds of millions of votes yet to be made and be counted.

We will see just how serious of a poster I was after McCain wins like I predicted.

In Dixville Notch, voting is very public.  It is like a caucus, which over-represents Obama's support due to a reverse Bradley effect.  In a town with twenty people in it, it is very likely that such an effect would occur.

So they would be too shy to vote for McCain?

Maybe you have a point, but at this stage I don't see a reason to lie about who you want to vote for.
