As Dixville Notch Goes, So Goes New Hampshire.

Except it didn't.

In the small, sleepy community of 75 famous for its midnight votes -- the first official votes of the election season -- Hillary Clinton didn't win a single ballot. The Dixville Notch results for the 2008 primary were:

Dem's
Obama - 7
Edwards - 2
Richardson - 1

Rep's
McCain - 4
Romney - 2
Guliani - 1

I could get all mathematical on you with a t-test:

But I won't.

(As an aside, Dixville Notch voted 9 to nothing Nixon over Kennedy in 1960.)

It appears that Clinton and McCain are your winners this evening in New Hampshire. And, if you want to extrapolate the first primary ballots of a small conservative state in liberal New England as being representative of the country as a whole (and trust me, they will -- anchors, pundits, columnists, and idiots), then the general election results are:

McCain-Anybody beats Clinton-Anybody by at least 5%.
