If you have not noticed, the Presidential Primary Season has actually begun. Sort of. And time is running out for some of the hopefuls.Late last night, while the rest of the nation and New Jersey slept, the teeny tiny teeny tiny New Hampshire towns of Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location voted first. First among firsts.
The tiny towns with two names.
The next leader of the free world will be chosen in the next month or two. Up until now, it has been like Spring Training. And, continuing, the baseball analogy, it’s as if when a few teams lost a few spring training games, they decided to drop out of the regular season. Maybe the Mets should have done that last season. But who knew?
Out on the Repub side: Sam Brownback, Tommy Tancredo.
Out on the Democratic side: Joe Biden, Chris Dodd.
More than a hundred years of
experience in government ----whoosh, out the door just because of the polls and the folks in Iowa. More will probably drop out after New Hampshire.I guess Darwin was right: Natural selection works, even in politics. Too bad the Republicans don’t believe in evolution.
According to the New York Times, Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location, New Hampshire vote first in the first primary in the nation. In Hart's Location, Obama received 9 votes, Hillary Rodham Clinton 3 and John Edwards 1. On the Republican side, McCain received 6 votes, Mike Huckabee 5, Ron Paul 4 and Mitt Romney 1.
In Dixville Notch, Obama got 7 votes, Edwards 2 and Bill Richardson 1. Among Republicans, McCain got 4 votes, Romney 2 and Rudy Giuliani 1.
That’s right. Hillary Clinton got
zero votes. No one in Dixville Notch voted for Hillary.Ooops.
And right now, a new Marist survey has Obama leading Clinton by eight points in New Hampshire, 36%-28% -- followed by Edwards at 22%.

Initial of all, put together your self for what you will encounter when you arrive. They normally produce about 1.5 volts per cell, and comparatively, they have a much longer shelf life and energy density when compared with other batteries. First and foremost, there is the legality of some artificial light sources. These batteries didn't show good results while being used continuously to run the motors that make these adult toys vibrate. And why should they -- when there are much better, affordable options? The real key to the Ansmann success along with the our rechargeable organization is providing quality product and education on the effective use of rechargeable products.
