BISMARCK – Illinois Sen. Barack Obama’s overwhelming win in the North Dakota Democratic presidential caucuses extended into polling places large and small.

In the southwest corner of the state in Amidon, the smallest county seat in the country, seven Democrats cast ballots at the fairgrounds. All seven voted for Obama. At the Carroll House in Fullerton, 16 folks chose between Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton, with Obama getting 13 votes. The four busiest polling places in Fargo, Grand Forks and Bismarck all went solidly into the Obama column.

The state Democratic-NPL held voting at 125 locations, then condensed the results into a list of 80 towns and two college campuses. Obama took 64 of the 82, Sen. Hillary Clinton had 16 and two others tied.

Democrats announced Wednesday that Obama’s 11,625 votes, or 61 percent, mean he’s awarded eight North Dakota delegates to the Democratic National Convention. Clinton received 37 percent, 6,948 votes, and gets five delegates. The others who received votes – Sen. John Edwards, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel and a smattering of others, did not receive enough votes to win delegates.

1. So much for the he can't get rural voters crap

You'd think the idiots who post that would have given up on it by now, but no, they just can't resist.

3. Rural voters? ND is practically all rural!

And what is the point of ND? It won't go Democratic this year or anytime soon.

4. The Nation printed an article a few years back--

gave a very convincing argument as to how and why the West is trending Democratic. Never say never!

2. North Dakotans LUUUURVE Mittens Romney. And Ron Paul. Hate McCain and Huck.

Funny results--it's the diametic opposite of the South. Those crazy Germans and Scandinavians have their own ideers.
