And as I think it was that jerk Piers Morgan on CNN after Dixville Notch's tie vote on Obama versus wrongney - "well, that doesn't tell us much."
NO SHIT, SHERLOCK...
But hopefully, it's a good sign. Interesting that the ratio is the same from '08 til now.

In Dixville Notch there were a total of 10 voters: Obama 5, Romney 5
and then this DU OP http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021725168
says:
2012 General Election - National Results for Hart's Location
President/Vice President
Barack Obama/Joe Biden (D) 23
Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan (R) 9
That would make the total THIS YEAR be: Obama 28, Romney 14
So, that tweet can not be correct.

that's why there are only 10 votes there.
