Can't find the map but I remember the 2008 precinct results in the Five Towns were bad for Obama. Especially compared to previous Democratic presidential. The area as a whole has gotten much more religious in nature. Areas like Cedarhurst used to have a thriving shopping area on Saturdays but that is a thing of the past. Furthermore, many in the community latched on to the Obama is anti-Israel meme early. Very generally speaking where you fall on the religious spectrum correlates to national level voting patterns. Although I have noticed a subtle but marked drift toward the right from even the secular community. My pithy and mildly off color saying used to be, you don't wear a hat, you're a Democrat.
