I've always wondered what makes some rural Midwestern whites very amenable to Dems, while others are almost as conservative as they are in Mississippi and Alabama.

Local political traditions, Protestants (but what kind?) vs Catholics, industrial vs agricultural, immigration/settlement patterns, economic history...

A lot of immigrant settlement patterns, mostly. D-voting areas in the midwest were usually 'settled' by Scandinavians, while most of the rest was 'settled' by Germans.

It's more complicated than that though.
