I believe Kerry was seen as the more elitist candidate, so why did he win to WWC counties in Northeast Ohio by that much?

They were still reliably Democratic at the time. Same reason Adlai Stevenson carried rural counties in the deep south despite also being seen as the more elitist candidate next to Eisenhower.

In 2004 there was still a lot of Democratic support in Appalachia, mostly from the Greatest Generation voters (born between 1901-1927). This also explains why Kerry won some counties in WV and eastern KY, along with some counties in SE Ohio along the Ohio River valley.

IIRC West Virginia was still discussed seriously as a swing state early on in 2004.
