Neat-o.

SF, Portland, Seattle. There's your map. lol

Hey, I don't know if you noticed or not...but this is the Political Geography & Demographics forum. So if you can't discuss issues in an empirical (or at the very least, in a non-ignorant) fashion without being a blatant partisan hack, then kindly show yourself the door and fuck off.

+100. I can't be a big help here (living abroad and being almost completely Internet-based), but waitng for the result with great interest. BTW - what is so special in that Mississipi county, that gave Obama only 2% of white vote? Even by Deeep South standard that's something

The dead rose to vote against the black man, of course! It's southern tradition!

[Ebsy]

Wow, Obama did a lot better in Tennessee then I would have expected. I guess the only thing separating it from North Carolina in terms of competitiveness is the massive black flight from the state.

I find it very interesting that whites in the south living in urban counties and/or counties with more black and Hispanic people are much more likely to vote Democratic than whites who live in a exurban, rural, majority white counties.

Could many of the white Obama voters in heavily-black counties have partially black ancestry or have blacks in their family and thus in part identify with African Americans in some way?

Doubtful. It's more likely whites in urban areas are just more likely to be liberal.

I would like to see Missouri if you are planning on continuing.

[Ebsy]

Missouri is pretty much as expected, though I'm surprised Obama did so well in the counties south of Jefferson County. It might not take much for Clinton to actually win a few of them.

[Ebsy]

The Rust Belt sends its regards.

[Ebsy]

Were there any counties where Obama won the white vote but didn't get over 50%?

[Ebsy]

Silly me not scrolling down.

Sorry to have not had an update recently - it takes a bit of time and I did so much toward the end of my last spurt that I ran out of steam temporarily. Texas was a roadblock, of course. I haven't forgotten about this and it will be finished sooner or later.

Famous last words for anything popular on the internet.
