Precinct-by-precinct results trickling in

It takes 8 months to get election results broken down by precinct in Kentucky?

At least we've finally got some counties in, and they're as interesting as one might expect.

Mind you, it's long been an aberration for a precinct in northern Kentucky to go Democratic in a presidential election. So it would be easier to list the places Obama won than the ones McCain won.

I'll try to do that for Campbell County. From the results I've seen, Obama won precincts in Newport, Bellevue, Dayton, Southgate, and Highland Heights. Newport and Dayton weren't even close. It looks like Obama may have won (!) the portion of Campbell County within I-275, though it's impossible to tell for sure.

As for southern Campbell County, let me just say, it's southern Campbell County. That's all you need to know. If you look at the results for Grants Lick or Sun Valley, you wonder how this blog is even in the same county. One has to ask whether Colorado City, Arizona, didn't relocate there.

Despite that, Campbell County seems to now be less Republican than Boone County, where McCain won 59 of its 60 precincts.

When you get beyond the exurbs into more rural counties, things do pick a bit for the Democrats (despite the GOP base becoming more rural): I noticed Obama won 2 of Robertson County's 5 precincts.

At least now I know not to move this blog to Grants Lick or Sun Valley.
