WOW-H.L. Early Votes: 30% of repubs voted for OBAMA, 100% of INDEPENDENTS voted OBAMA!COATTAILS TOO!

I don't know New Hampshire politics and I know Hart's Location is a small sample but I find a couple things very interesting about their results. If this is telling for the whole country, it WILL be a landslide for Obama!

13 Republicans voted in their primary but only 9 peeps voted for Romney.
10 Dems voted in their primary but 23 peeps voted for Obama.

Obama got EVERY Independent Voter.

Coattails: 23 people voted for Obama, 22 for the Dem Governor and 23 for the Dem U.S. Rep. The Republican got 9 votes in each race! THIS MEANS THAT EVERY INDEPENDENT VOTED DEMOCRAT STRAIGHT DOWN TICKET as well. The Libertarian got one vote in each race-another person unwilling to vote for Romney.

THIS ALSO MEANS THAT 4 OUT OF THE 13 REPUBLICANS THAT VOTED IN THE PRIMARY VOTED DEMOCRAT DOWN TICKET AS WELL.

I'm telling you guys, Romney is so horrible that a lot of Republicans are going to vote Democrat.

Do you have any idea of what that means if those are the numbers we see on a statewide level? A nationwide level? Is my math sound? Am I rummy from too much political reading this past month?

Here are the returns for Hart's Location--correct me if I'm seeing things. Rec me if I'm not!! :0)

Barack Obama/Joe Biden (D) 23
Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan (R) 9
Gary Johnson/James Gray (L) 1
