Yes, Obama won Elliott County

Elliott County, Kentucky, has come through again for the Democrats. You've got to give the county credit for shunning the GOP so consistently!

I got in a heated discussion on the Internet about who would win Elliott County. I was told repeatedly that McCain would carry this bailiwick in rural Appalachia hands-down. But it was not to be!

In fact, Obama won it by 25%. It was Obama's best county of all 120 counties in Kentucky.

I've said before that the urban-rural split is widening, but I knew all along Obama would win some rural Appalachian counties. America's political regions are what they are, and poop on those who think they can predict a county offhand and be so wrong!
