So far, Obama has done better in small counties than in large ones in four states: Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.

-South Carolina = more blacks in rural areas?

That, and that most of the 100,000+ counties are large, suburban ones that vote heavily Republican. Of the six large counties in SC, only two voted for Obama (Charleston and Richland). The other four were all >60% McCain: Lexington County (suburban Columbia), Greenville County (Greenville), Spartanburg County (Spartanburg), and Horry County (Myrtle Beach--suburban, snowbirds, retirees, voted for Clinton)
