Hamilton County, Ohio

The right-wing base in greater Cincinnati is made up of people with a lot of money who think they're smarter than everyone else.

The map of Campbell County would be interesting. It has some white working-class areas that were strongly for Obama (even though Romney won the county as a whole). The Democratic base in Campbell County is mostly working-class whites.

One trouble spot is Green Township just west of the city. One of the big issues there is the attempts to keep Section 8 housing out of the township.

Cincinnati is pretty right-wing for a major city outside the South. However, Hamilton County had a reasonable showing in the anti-gay marriage vote in 2004. 56% to ban gay marriage, only behind Athens, Franklin, and Cuyahoga.

That's interesting.  Suburban Republicans seem to be considerably less anti-gay than people in rural areas.  It's an issue where the urban/rural divide seems especially prominent.

It's true in Kentucky too. Campbell County was actually less supportive of the anti-gay marriage amendment than Elliott County was, although Elliott County's Democratic leanings are well documented,.
