If the white women and white men of Missouri were segregated from each other to such a degree that a gender gap in voting showed up on a county map, it would be no wonder the state had weird pregnancy politics.

To be a bit more serious than my last post, even if the statewide gap has a major gender component, there's no obvious reason why the internal geographic distribution of the gender gap should mimic the geographic distribution of the gap between the offices. The geographic variation within a gender is distinct from the variation between candidates for two offices. It's possible that in those northern counties the men voted the same way as in the south and the women swung particularly to McCaskill. But it could be the other way around: maybe the northern and southern women voted the same as each other, but in the north the men joined them more in supporting McCaskill. In the latter case the gender gap would be concentrated in areas with a smaller Obama/McCaskill gap. There's no way from the map to tell which is closer to the truth.
