Been watching the NH numbers all night long. Amazing that one candidate's % never varied.
John Edwards started out with 17% of the vote with 3% of the precincts counted.

His percentage never varied. It never rose to 18%; never sank to 16.

Amazing in such a groundbreaking contest with a record number of voters, isn't it?

1. Are you implying our voting system could be compromised?
If you are, I couldn't agree more.

5. Yes, smells like a fix. I waited quite some time for
the figure to change at least 1 percent.Never did.

8. ALL the candidates had pretty much the same percentages with minor variations
And if you look at the breakdown by county, the counties where Obama was expected to do the best (i.e., western NH, where the colleges are), he won decisively.
