Title: In what area of America did Romney SURPRISINGLY seriously overperform? Post by: Matty on September 27, 2019, 10:33:00 PM Not necessarily a place he won outright, but a place where he got a startlingly high % of vote compared to expectations?

His coal country gains were a slight surprise for many at the time, but these days his numbers would be considered weak. Romney was an extremely mediocre candidate.

He was widely expected to win it, but Mccain only won by 13%. Romeny won by twice that. And considering other elections in the state went to the democrats, you would think at least Monongalia or Jefferson counties would go to obama, but it was a wash for Romney.
