New Hampshire Obama Clinton McCain Bartlett

One of the great traditions of elections is the act of seeking votes by playing to one's audience. For some this can be achieved by focusing one's attention on another such as when "Huckabee wooed independent Joe Legay by pouring him coffee". For others it involves placing a bunch of search terms in the header of a delightfully gratuitous blog post.

According to Google Analytics our wonderful little blog is none too popular with the great people of New Hampshire. We've had 20 visits from New Hampshire: nine from Nashua, two from Manchester, two from Hooksett, and one each from seven other cities. So a post about the New Hampshire primary will either fall on deaf ears or draw such vast numbers of hits from The Granite State that "Live Free or Die"ians will become our largest fanbase.

Today is the New Hampshire primary, as our New Hampshire audience surely knows, and the media will certainly be saturated with coverage and opinions and polls. While we at Everyone Is a Sith cannot afford our own polls we can easily borrow the information from others:

In a northern New Hampshire hamlet tradition, voters of Dixville Notch and Hart's Location cast the first 46 ballots of the primary season - half for Democrats and half for Republicans - at midnight, hours before polls opened statewide at 6 a.m. EST. Polls close at 8 p.m.

Combined results from the two spots showed Obama with 16 votes, Clinton 3, Edwards 3 and Bill Richardson, 1. On the Republican side, McCain received 10 votes, Huckabee 5, Ron Paul 4, Romney 3 and Giuliani 1.

Where else will you find such quality posting of information gained from other websites? Nowhere else; that's where.

Do you live in New Hampshire? Do you know someone from New Hampshire? Care to share your thoughts on the New Hampshire primary? Feel free (or die) to utilize the comment thread. And please remember Everyone Is a Sith for all of your time killing needs.
