Dixville Notch Goes Obama 15-6

Nice, the canary in the cave we've been waiting for. (3.00 / 1)

Good find.

Best,

not to be a nudge, but it's canary in a coal mine. Oh, and I predict 353 electoral votes for Obama, +8 for the Dems in the Senate, and +25 in the House. Oh, and Obama will win by 6% with between 52% & 53%. Tomorrow should be interesting, and Dixville Notch is sadly not an indicator, historically speaking. But, all in all, I'd rather be up 15-6 than down.

Thx Greg. (0.00 / 0)

Yes "Coal Mine", (but it'll probably work in a cave too :))

Bummer on Dixvile Notch not being an idicator historically.

I agree on the US House, I have 25-30 predicted, and 9 in Senate.

Best,
David

Full Transparency (0.00 / 0)

I'd rather not.  You could argue that it's overkill, but reason is it's been my email for a long time, so it helps folks easily identify who the post is from.  

And I always sign at leat my 1st name, and often last as well, so that all know who is the true author of the post with no questions of "who is ..."  It's the most fair thing to do.  It's best practice.

It's required when you post to the Austin American-Statesman newspaper and to the Austin Chronicle newspaper.  I'd like to see that as part of recommended blogging etiquette.  I wish everyone did it.

Going one step beyond your question, lack of transparency is one of the obstacles to blogging being accepted by the mainstream.  Often the right-wing will say "oh, that's just a blog by some anonymous individual", which may rob the post of the true credibility it deserves.

Best,
David

Gotta love them in Dixville Notch. (0.00 / 0)

That little town has got to be a cool place to live. I can almost see warm apple cider awaiting voters when they show up and a good pot belly stove warming the polling place.  I know, my Rockwell images are coming out.  Sorry.

That has to say something if a small town in NH that has voted Republican since 1968 has chosen Change. I just wish the margin would hold but I'll take a win.

Oh, and David, if what you suggest was the case we wouldn't have had the past 8 years of a failed presidency.
