Fun, no?
McCain counties are in red; Obama counties are in blue.
Yes, I know, Obama is winning the sign wars in Campbell County by far, but with this county's past frightful record, you have to prepare for a different story.
Some of the counties in Illinois are a bit shaky, but I don't know as much about the politics of Illinois counties as I do about the other states on that map.
This map includes a serious error: Athens County, Ohio, should by all means be blue. McCain doesn't have a chance in hell of carrying it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think one of the counties in suburban Peoria, Illinois, should be red, but I'm not sure offhand which one.
