Title: How many counties will Hillary win in her former home state?

1992

The last time a Republican won all counties was 1972.
The last time each county went Democratic was 1932.

Btw, Benton and Washington Counties seem to deeply hate the Democrats, which is pretty rare for the second and third most populous counties of a state...

Whatever 2004 was seems about right. (That might even be a bit optimistic for her).

Reading educates people, and educated people read.

Which counties do you think will Hillary gain to Obama's 9?

No idea, I'm just guessing. Probably a few in the NE or SW quadrant.

16-20.

On a side note, Bill Clinton actually lost 30,000 popular votes in Arkansas between 1992 and 1996, although his overall percentage stagnated.

I agree, 11-15, and probably towards the lower end of that for a Pryor-like loss.

Washington has a liberal university town (Fayetteville), but Benton and northwestern Arkansas is still very historically Republican. Unlike the rest of the state though, it isn't really trending Republican.

She was, merely, its First Lady.

She was the First Lady there, but...

For a moment I thought you were referring to Illinois.

Anyway, the Clinton magic is pretty much thing of the past in Arkansas (even Bill wouldn't have carried his home state today), but I expect some "home state" factor.

I would guess more than Kerry, fewer than Gore.
