Only gonna do states where I can recall spending enough time to make an informed decision.  This leaves out states where I just visited once for an event and never really saw anything beyond that (Illinois, Texas, California, Missouri), merely traveled through (Kentucky, West Virginia), or spent real time in, but sufficiently long ago that I don't remember it all that well (Maine, New Hampshire).

[tmthforu94]

Anyone who is picking Wyandotte County is clearly only doing so for political reasons, as it is a very depressing county and a county few people would actually want to live in. If you're going to go off politics, choose Douglas County.

Probably half of the counties I listed were won by Obama. I like being close to a big cities, but not actually in them, so suburbs are the ideal location for me. Additionally, I have family who live in Brookfield.

Fair enough, but that's a great example of why you shouldn't assume partisanship is the motive behind a particular choice

Mt Hood isn't a county.

[RosettaStoned]

 How could anyone objectively answer that question?

[TNF]

How could anyone objectively answer that question?

They really couldn't, hence everyone listing the county containing the biggest city in the state.

Um, this is objectively and obviously false?  Maybe you should actually try reading what other posters say, for once?
