Kerry in the Midwest

[buritobr]

Kerry had a very good result in the Midwest. He had a 2.5% defeat in the national popular vote, but he won Wisconsin and Michigan, states where Hillary lost. In Ohio and Iowa, his defeat had a smaller margin than the national margin. Nowadays, it is better to say that Ohio and Iowa are light red (Atlas blue) states than that they are purple states. The west of Pennsylvania is almost midwest and Kerry did better there than Obama.
