Even Cincinnati ditched the GOP

You're not gonna believe this one, but something happened on Election Day that hadn't happened since 1964.

For the first time in 44 years, Cincinnati's Hamilton County went Democratic in a presidential election. Yes, Cincinnati, of all places!

Isn't Cincinnati a conservative stronghold? I'm not referring to the city here, but the whole county - which includes many suburbs that are unfailingly right-wing.

But Obama won the place by 5%, about the same as his nationwide showing.

Talk about a county where the Republicans have really self-destructed lately!
