1st in: NH midnight voting returns

Bam wins: First returns
in New Hampshire out

Dixville Notch:

Obama 71%
McCain 29%

Hart’s Location:

Obama 58.6%
McCain 34.5%
Paul 06.9%

MANILA – Voters from two formerly Republican-leaning towns in New Hampshire who traditionally bear the honor of being the first to cast their ballots on election day have just made Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois their overwhelming choice to become the 44th President of the United States.
 
Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location, two towns in the Granite State that have been enjoying their first-vote status since 1948, are pioneers in officially announcing the results on election day even though other states have already voted early.
 
In the Dixville Notch tally, Obama defeats Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona by a landslide 71-29 percent, or 15 votes to a mere 6.
 
And in the Hart’s Location tally, Obama garnered 58.6 percent or 17 votes as he beats McCain at 34.5 percent or 10 votes and Republican write-in candidate Ron Paul at 6.9 percent or 2 votes.
 
Obama supporter Tanner Nelson Tillotson was the first person whose name was drawn from a bowl to make him Dixville Notch’s first voter.
 
Hart’s Location opted out of the early voting tradition in 1964 after some residents grew tired of all the publicity, but brought the practice back in 1996.
 
Nestled in a mountain pass 1,800 feet up and about halfway between the White Mountain National Forest and the Canadian border, Dixville Notch earlier opted out of the early voting exercise on the year when then Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy defeated his Republican rival Richard M. Nixon in 1960.
 
Nixon swept all 9 votes cast in Dixville Notch that year, and before Obama won on the fourth of November 2008, the town had gone for a Democrat only once since then – 40 years earlier in 1968.
 
That year, Democratic presidential candidate Hubert Humphrey got 8 votes while Nixon had 4.

Landslide … Avalanche … Tsunami Tuesday

 

obamapic

 

No surprises, no game changers:
Pinoys for Obama stay confident


MANILA – Filipinos predict a landslide victory if not an avalanche or a tsunami today for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama as the newly elected Commander-in-Chief of the United States, two months before his historic inauguration on January 20, 2009 as the 44th American President.
 
Members of the online social network OBAMANOS: Filipinos for Obama Movement said they and their affiliates in the Philippines-America for Obama (Phil-Am for Bam) Movement remain confident that the Democratic candidate will have an insurmountable lead against his Republican rival, Arizona Sen. John McCain.
 
“If it ain’t a landslide, it’s an avalanche or a tsunami with the Great Lakes and the Rocky Mountains turning  blue,” Obamanos-in-Chief (OIC) Jason Hussein Bourne said.  “The greatest surprise is that there will be no surprise at all.”
 
The latest Quinnipiac University polls conducted from October 27 to November 2 on battleground or purple states show Obama leading McCain in Pennsylvania by 10 percent, in Ohio by 7 percent, and in Florida by 2 percent.
 
The Quinnipiac Univ. surveys show Obama beating McCain at 52-42 percent in Pennyslvania, at 50-43 percent in Ohio, and 47-45 percent in Florida, with an error margin of 2.5 points.
 
Meanwhile, three recent surveys all show the Democrat surpassing his losing rival nationwide by 9 percent, with both the ABC News/Washington Post daily tracking survey and the Marist College poll showing Obama ahead of McCain at 53-44 percentage.
 
The third survey, which CBS News conducted statewide from October 31 to November 2, shows Obama defeating McCain at 51-42 percentage with an error margin of 3 points.
 
Further, the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll conducted on November 1-2 shows Obama toppling McCain nationwide by 8 percent, at 51-43 percentage, with an error margin of 3.1 points.
 
Another survey from FoxNews Poll and Opinion Dynamics also conducted on November 1-2 shows Obama still outscoring McCain statewide by 7 percent, at 50-43 percentage, with an error margin of 3 points.

Battleground blitz!


 
 
Obama 54%, McCain 43%
as ex-red states Arizona,
North Dakota turn bluish
 
 
MANILA – With less than 24 hours to the conclusion of the most historic race to the White House in recent memory, Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois is poised to be elected tomorrow and inaugurated in January as the 44th President of the United States.
 
Various recent surveys also show Obama slowly inching closer into known Republican strongholds as North Dakota and Montana, and even in Indiana and the very turf of his losing rival, Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
 
The latest ABC News/Washington Post tracking survey conducted on October 28-31 shows Obama overwhelming McCain statewide by 11 percent, at 54-43 percent with an error margin of 2.5 points.
 
Meanwhile, the New York Times/CBS News poll conducted on October 25-29 shows Obama overcoming McCain nationwide also by 11 percent, at 52-41 percent with an error margin of 3 points.
 
Worse for the Republicans, the NBC/Mason Dixon poll conducted on October 27-28 in McCain’s home state shows Obama closing the gap in Arizona at –4 percent, at 44-48 percent with an error margin of 4 points.
 
Moreover, the Indianapolis Star/WTHR-TV survey conducted on October 26-28 shows Obama leading McCain in Indiana by 1 percent, at 46-45 percent with an error margin of 4 points, while the WISH-TV Indiana poll conducted on October 24-28 shows a tie at 47 percent, with an error margin of 5 points.
 
In surveys of other battlegrounds, the latest Marist polls conducted from October 26-28 with an error margin of 4 points show Obama ahead of McCain in Colorado by 6 percent, at 51-45 percentage, and in Virginia by 4 percent, at 51-47 percentage.
