In Dixville Notch, Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump 4-2. Libertarian Gary Johnson received one vote, and the 2012 Republican candidate, Mitt Romney received a surprise write-in ballot. In the slightly larger burg of Hart’s Location, Clinton won with 17 votes to Trump’s 14. Johnson got three of Hart’s Location votes, while write-ins Bernie Sanders and John Kasicheach got one vote. And in Millsfield, Trump won decisively, 16-4, with one write-in for Bernie Sanders.

…[These towns] lean conservative and tend to vote Republican. Dixville voted for the Republican in every election since 1960 — including Barry Goldwater who lost in a landslide to Lyndon Johnson — until going for Obama in 2008, and splitting the vote between Romney and Obama in 2012.

“I am reminded of the 2000 race between Al Gore and George W. Bush when people who were not happy with Al Gore in New Hampshire voted for Ralph Nader and swung the state’s four electoral votes to George W. Bush and that was the election,” Shaheen said.

“At this point, they’ve got to decide what they want to do. Do they want to continue to complain or do they want to make a positive difference in what happens in November? I’m betting that they love their country more than they want to complain.”

Exactly.

…the rather standard and presumptive claim that the party, which is home to the most racially and ethnically diverse array of voters, must leave the earliest and most influential choice about its presidential candidate to two states that look very little like the party or the country. The argument that voters in Iowa and New Hampshire are somehow specially trained or primed and therefore “take the responsibility seriously,” in some sort of unique way, seems largely emotional, even nostalgia-driven in the light of turnout results in far more diverse South Carolina.

If the turnout patterns and election outcomes look the same in most Super Tuesday states, consider that another blow. Voters in New Hampshire and Iowa didn’t simply behave quite differently than those in Nevada and South Carolina; they delivered different election outcomes indicating that, for them, Sanders’s message and Sanders’s political priorities were a good or at least not an uncomfortable fit.

Look you fuckwits, it’s not about Iowa or NH being representative, it’s about them being smaller media markets where you can successfully run without have a ton of cash in your war chest. What the fuck part of that is so damn hard for you dipshits to understand?

The bit at the end from Barron had me laughing out loud. The dynamics of politics are hilarious anyways but “insider” reactions to them can just be side-splitting.

“I find it a little insulting,” Barron said. “Massachusetts has more delegates on the floor of the convention next summer than Iowa and New Hampshire combined, and we have one more electoral vote than they do combined.”

Barron said the candidates raise funds in Massachusetts and should take the opportunity to speak to grassroots activists. “We’re seen as an ATM machine,” Barron said.
