At the very least, Milwaukee County has some splainin' to do.

Haha, no sh**t there. There was a small investigation a few weeks after the election and they found a couple hundred fake addresses that had registered the same day as the election. That practice needs to go, now.

Were the votes retracted?

Of course not.  They cannot link voters to their votes, thank God.

I was acctually really suprised with Pennsylvania. I thought Kerry was safe, very close margin. I also thought Bush would take Wisconsin.

Of those three - Florida - I had a feeling Bush would win, but not by that much - the Hurricane along I-54? either way that corridor was crucial.

I was shocked by the size of the WV margin I expected 8 maybe 9 but nothing even close to 12.

Wisconsin... well the Reps have WI we have OH... it's nice to share.

Iowa shocked me as did NM.

I will also add the mid-Atlantic in general.

Teton County isn't all that surprising, considering what kind of place Jackson is.  Although the sudden swing was still pretty wowing, it was just a noticeable effect of the leftward trend of ski resort areas over the last few years.
