The city I was born in?  Apple Valley, MN... probably 52-45 for McCain.  Burnsville, where we actually lived, probably will split about even.  At least when my family lived there, Burnsville was pretty blue-collar. 

The city I lived in after that, Monticello, will go for McCain 56-44.

The city I live in now will go about 60-40 for Obama.

Funny story.  The hospital I was born in was opened about 3 weeks before I was born and there was a baby boom so my mother nearly had me in a hallway.

I can only say that it will be a tough battle between ÖVP and SPÖ at around 30%, with the FPÖ maybe cracking 20%.

I'm pretty sure Madison County Illinois (and Alton for that matter) have voted for the Democratic Party since Lincoln died.  Maybe even before that.

edit-it seems they voted for Reagan both times and Nixon in '72 and only 51% for Kerry.

Anyone want to help me on this one?  Maybe 0.5% McCain?

Do I have the hardest county to predict?

Pima County, Arizona, went to Kerry by 6.00% and Gore by 8.03%.  Basically it's Tuscon.  Big university there and 30% hispanic population creates a base, but McCain does really well among Arizonan hispanics in his senate runs.

Englewood, NJ
Obama: 77% (74)
McCain: 22% (25)

Bergen County, NJ
Obama: 53% (52)
McCain: 46% (47)

2004 numbers in parentheses. I'm guessing a little bit on what the Jewish vote will end up as; the rest is pretty predictable. The change in Englewood itself is mostly higher black turnout and higher Hispanic population. In all of Bergen County, it's mostly higher Hispanic and Korean populations with some slight swing to Obama among the white non-Jewish NYC commuters. At this point I think the Jewish vote will look more or less the same as in 2004.
