I can't believe I didn't catch this earlier, but anyway...

I think Knott was Kerry's second-best county in Kentucky in 2004, and Al Gore's best in 2000. So I think it's pretty clear McCain didn't win it by 8%, and that the results listed here are backwards.

You don't just go from a 29% win for Kerry to an 8% win for McCain.

And why would coal country hate Obama so much (besides racism)?

Maybe the Republicans did better this time because Bush wasn't their candidate, and folks in Kentucky know Bushstink when they see it. Still, an entire county can't just have a 37% swing to the Republicans when the rest of the country had a 10% swing to the Democrats.
