Most Republican County in Each State in 2008

[politicalchick20]

Garrett County is the westernmost county in Maryland (a Republican stronghold on its own) and is the one county of the state that seems like it shouldn't be a part of the state at all (even Allegany County, the only Maryland county it borders, is more closely identified with the state). It is considered to be more like West Virginia than Maryland, although unlike many counties in West Virginia, the instances where it votes for Democrats can be summed up as "practically never" (Allegany County and Washington County, which are also in Western Maryland, can also be described that way, but they have cities like Frederick, Hagerstown and Cumberland, along with a few universities, to balance this out. Garrett County does not.). It is also almost uniformly white.
