Why did Upstate NY swing D?

This is an interesting question, mostly rural and white but not religious.

That's your answer.

That doesn't explain the swing there. Neither is much of the R swing areas of New England or the Pacific Northwest.

Why for the Pacific Northwest? Most counties swung only slightly to Romney and trended D.

My point was that the Pacific Northwest and New England are the least religious regions but mostly did not swing D in the way that Upstate NY did.
