what time does the NH caucus start tomorrow?
what time will results be known? I'm being lazy, asking experts instead of researching on my own

1. It's not a caucus, it's a primary.
And they start voting at Dixville Notch at midnight (in about a half hour).

2. It's a primary, not a caucus. Morning to evening.

4. First Vote at Midnight tonight in Dixvile Notch, NH
It probably starts very early so people who need to can vote
enroute to work.

9. Nah. It's just a gimmick that was started by this guy who
owned the Grand Hotel there, back in the sixties. And now it's a gimmick tradition. There are only 16 voters.

12. They showed it on C_span in 2004. CNN has it

They say it's a bellweather for which party wins in the general elections. Clark won in 2004.(and Kerry of course, but it's a secret!)

6. Two tiny little hamlets vote tonight
at midnight. Dixville Notch at the Balsalm's Grand Hotel and Hart's Corners. And when I say little, I mean little. Dixville has 16 voters and Hart's has about 40 I think. We'll know the results shortly after they vote.

'First in the Nation' distinction/tradition.

11. Here are two links to two leading newspapers in New Hampshire:
http://www.concordmonitor.com/

http://www.unionleader.com/

The Union Leader is a conservative paper, but it's a major circulation paper and has useful info on the primary. The Monitor tends to be a more balanced editorial board.
