Was CNN typical when they declared Bush and the other Republicans winners since 1968?

Or are they just being typical because Obama won?

Let's just say I don't hold the Clinton News Network in high regard.

Dixville Notch is historically the first town in the United States to report election results. Residents gather in the local resort hotel to vote just before Midnight, with polls closing at 12:01 A.M.

Dixville Notchians have voted 15-6 in Obama's favor. This is the first time a Democrat has won in Dixville Notch since 1968.

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come!

Obama '08
