Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has won in the two US towns that traditionally open US election voting.

In Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, he won 15 votes to his Republican rival John McCain's six, becoming the first Democrat to win there since 1968.

The winner needs 270 out of the 538 votes.

McCain will win easily, unless there really is a big swing.

I still find it hilarious that the majority of the people can vote for one guy, and the other guy becomes president anyway.

And these people have the nerve to "export democracy"

Default Did you know
The US national Anthem is not from the American war of Independance, its from a small war in 1812. It's about the Brits coming down from Canada and setting fire to the capitol building.

So tonight, when it's all done and dusted, and the singing starts I'll be thinking 'fck yeah, any more nonsense and we'll come and do it again'

I think we should send Liz over there anyway, let her run the place since the septics are clearly incapable of running it themselves....
