True but - I don't think anyone seriously expects this to mean a 65% Obama win.

It would be useful to know the previous voting habits of these people and the demographic spread. Even if it's a tiny sample it's still a huge shift.

The anecdotal evidence is that McCain has lost the confidence of his party and ceded a non-trivial demographic spread to Obama. This is one small data point which supports that. There may be good reasons for the shift - maybe the population has changed since 2004 - but it's not just random noise.

Well last election they went like this

The Command Post - 2004 US Presidential Election - Hart's Location a dead heat; Nader a spoiler!

New Hampshire | Hart's Location a dead heat; Nader a spoiler!

Bush won early this morning in a 19-7 landslide in Dixville Notch, NH, which is no surprise given the town's Republican-leaning tendencies.

But in New Hampshire's other early-voting hamlet, Hart's Location, it's a tie! How fitting in this deadlocked election. The tally: Bush 15, Kerry 15, Nader 1.

Hey, look, Ralph Nader cost Kerry the election! :)

So, if you're keeping score at home, with something like 0.01% of the precincts reporting, it's Bush 34, Kerry 22, Nader 1 in the Granite State.

And the Dixville Notch wikipedia page has a list of its poll and primary results back to 1960

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
