The winners in midnight democracy in Dixville Notch: Jon Huntsman and Mitt Romney, with two votes each; the winner in Harts Location: Romney, with 5 votes. Ron Paul came in close second with 4 votes, followed by Huntsman with 2, according to the Union Leader.

Another 250,000 or so voters are expected to join those early birds by casting their ballots later Tuesday. Polls in the Granite State close at 8pm ET.
In 2008, John McCain won the balloting in Dixville Notch with 4 votes. Mitt Romney finished second with only 2. McCain also won Hart’s Location in 2008, edging Mike Huckabee, 6 votes to 5.

Many of Romney's political thoughts parallel O'bama's logic.
Romney ... the O'bama II man?
One major difference is Mitt is a capitalist!!!
Vote soros, van jones and obama out in November!!!!
Romney would sell off California, Florida and New York, lay off the other 47 states, pocket the money, and scamper. Yeah, he is a true capitalist.
star, I suppose there is some logic there, LMAO!!!
Fully aGreed with that Star. Vote capitalist. Vote for the big ripoff.
..................."A vote for Mitt is a vote for the 1%"
Obama got 3 votes, so he has been re-elected.
Romney was concerned about getting a "pink slip"? Please. He mocks thsoe who are unemployed.
Romney protests his words taken out of context? What goes around comes around Mitt.
underground polygamy bishop, cultist teacher, and a man who lacks ability to connect with ordinary american beliefs. love for america's law is what's lacking
quotes from baggers on this site "There is if you are willing to stand up and fight! Can you still pull a trigger? It might come to that." and " God willing, it will come to that, and I'll be ready to take out those in uniform"...what disgusting pieces of trash you are...
where do you live if you think you are strong enough to take out even one person ...let alone a crip,blood,hoover crip,norteno,sureno or any biker I live around....you baggers and your families would be annihilated before the dude even stepped out of the car...I live in "the hood" outside an Army base and these people are the nicest most neighborly people around...but I garuntee some bagger came down here talking smack..it be funny to watch
why dont you listen to rush again lie about Obamas halloween party like he did yesterday..what he forgot to mention is that the party was for 2600 military families...the GOP is doomed..and you old geezers are just scaring other old geezers...believe me..you are WAY outnumbered by the real Americans of all races and religions that are sick of your B.S.
Go eat your pudding....
We had a "Rambo" up her in the PNW. He killed an innocent Park Ranger. Then he ran like heck. All the little "Rambo" wannabes said he had the Army survivalist training to hide out for months. Found him next day dead, in a slush puddle. Died of Hypothermia. (to the baggers: that's dead of too much cold)
Guys, real life isn't like Rambo. It's dirtier than that. Get over it.
LMAO Jennifer you live in the "play hood" Ive been stationed in places where they considered the surrounding towns "hoods" Norfolk comes to mind. Come visit beautiful down town Detroit. In the vicinity of 8 mile and John R. Stroll down the Blvd as long as you a ho or a crack head with money or something to trade you might not get shot and lit on fire......Hopefully shot BEFORE your lit on fire.
how many tea-baggers do you see talkin smack in down town detroit...nuff said...and you are always putting down detroit....so why do you live there...you got to love your hood...or get the fudge out...I was pointing out the baggers think they would win a revolution...not going to happen
Yup, seriously, the USA is going to wake up in November and realize they are all members of the John Birch Society. NOT!
Obama 2012.
and my son and nephew both work on the Paul campaign in Colorado...and if Paul is not the nominee...they will vote for Obama!!!
Obama supporters would just prefer they stop voting all together. LOL
I imagine so but it looks like the rest of the Ron Paul supporters are going to be sticking with who we believe, the position of President of the United States should go to.
If you do not like Obama, you will definitely not like Romney.
Ron Paul 2012!
He has character. putting trust and country first, I trust he can bring our country together, someone to unite the country, I trust him, He's a really honest person...all these different pieces of quotes define Jon Huntsman, been a long time since any party has heard these remarks.
Huntsman is a lot better fit for New Hampshire voters than those liars Romney, Gingrich, Paul and Santorum. Interesting to watch how they expose each others as liars.
Did you know that the other guy leading the GOP race is known as "someone other than the one's that are running" ? So by GOP standards, another Presitend Moron that could do more damage then Bush is worth getting President Obama out of office. Why ? Look around, the country is starting to recover. It took President Clinton 8 years to clean up after Bush Sr.. now you want to put a republican in office, to cut off your nose to spite your face ?
I hope you are not comparing President Obama to President Clinton. President Clinton was 10 times the President, Mr. Obama is. If a President could serve more than two terms, I would have voted to re-elect him every time.
That to me, is just more proof most liberals don't actually pay attention to what is really going on.
we have a bet at the bar....how many times do you think old gay-newt will say "Reagan" today.....
Drinking kind of early ....arent we!
well I own it...and I just got off so yeah...I am still buzzed......sorry goat head...but your nurse called...I guess at your age it means dinner right about now
There are numerous problems in America and all over the planet ,,,,,,, Number 1 problem,,,,,hating each other for what we believe in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When will people stop calling him Willard? He has never gone by that name so show some respect. They call him that because it sounds like a smug, rich name. Its wrong for people to emphasize the Hussein in Obama's name and its wrong to call Mitt, Willard. Any supporter of Obama's who doesn't like Obama being called Barack Hussein is hypocritical to call Mitt Romney Willard.
Willard is a very 1% sounding name isn't it??
You gotta admit :)
Baseball mitt
... but both the left and the right, are equally hypocritical.
It is hypocrisy. I'll stop with the Willard. BUT, Willard is to poke fun at snobbery and high brow. Hussain has more racist undertones.
and newt...that poor dork probably got beatings daily...hence why he is so insecure....that and how he thinks young girls want him....he got an UGLY younger woman.....that no one her age wanted....thats who all the old geezers with money end up with...unless your good looking and loaded...which newt is SO not!!!
Yes, but Gov Perry has been on vacation from the State of Texas for the last nine months.
Would Mr. Romney bring Bain Capital employees on in his administration and clean up or clean out federal employees like President Reagan tried to do but be successfull? The USA is similiar to a company ripe for a takeover and downsized to run more efficiently. After all, I think that is what we all want of a candidate. We are tired of perpeptual warfare and base building and no advances on healthcare. Actually the GRIDLOCK for 5-6 years.
Dixville Notch.....a place in serious need of a name change, then I'll pay serious attention without about to laugh syndrome lol
Romney wins?
The Media is all behind romney and romney has a majority of repub governors and moderate repub senators, also wall street and big banks.
Romney has the job creators behind him, the 1%ers
Many people who watch this video change their vote
http://tekgnosis.typepad.com/tekgnosis/2012/01/ron-paul-many-people-who-watch-this-whole-video-change-their-vote.html
If paul loses, will his supporters go with romney?
Libertarians cannot stand Romney.
Hell no we will not support Romney. We won't even support who ever does get the GOP nomination if it's not Paul.
(Well at least I won't be).
no way 2Bad, I'll write Dr. Paul in.
I think the GOP best chance is Ron Paul...I have never seen the youth around here more passionate about a candidate...and no they will not vote for ANY other GOP candidate.....especially the ones who talked smack about him
So let me understand you Brent, if anyone besides Paul gets the nomination you'll go stomp your feet in anger, mope in some corner for awhile and then cut your heart out wailing because it wasn't your man Paul? Just kidding of course, but you do realize that your apathy and malcontent is exactly what the Obama campaign is hoping for. Just enough people to either abstain from voting or vote for Obama with big a "SO THERE!!" attitude. (see Trevor-1973 below) The only thing you accomplish is getting Obama re-elected. And that would not be good. Please, don't cut off your nose to spite your face.
SouthernBelle: I will not pout or stomp my feet in anger. I will hang my head shaking it from side to side wondering why people are so ignorant and blind.
If Ron Paul does not get the nomination, he will still run as a third party candidate, (Independent or Libertarian). The problem is, the politically biased news companies and the politicians themselves, have most everyone convinced that you have to be a democrat or a republican to win the presidential election. Granted, that is pretty much how it has always been but it does not mean that things can't change and that's what we actually need, a real change in the political world. Ron Paul is the only one that will bring that change.
Liberals and conservatives both seem like the same groups of people to me and both groups really suck. Too bad you party voters will keep things going like they always have. Obama is not a good president, better than Bush Jr. but that is not saying much and Mitt Romney is just another Obama.
Ron Paul 2012!
If it is between Romney and Obama I think I would abstain from voting.
Well, that settles it. President Huntsman. LOL
*YAWNS*
What is Romney going to do different than Obama. I have yet to hear. Ron Paul ofcourse is not ready for reality. I think Obama remains the best choice.
Ron Paul is the only one dealing in reality and not politics.
NOT one of them will get my vote. Their all losers......Vote Obama AGAIN.
Everyone of them is bought by special interest. Dont fall for it Americans!!!!!
So is Obama. So your point is???
