Well what I meant was that Cleveland is majority black.

IIRC Cleveland City isn't even a majority of Cuyahoga county anymore.

Correct, it only makes up 30-35% of it, down from 72% in 1940.

What do you think turnout in Loving County will be? 125% of the population?

In the 2000 General Election, they had 125 votes even though the total population was 67

In the 2004 Democratic Primary, they had 52 votes, even though the population was 51

In the 2004 G.E., they had 80 votes, even though the population was estimated as 51


So turnout could be anywhere from 100% of total pop (not registered voters), to 175%

Red River County for Obama (OK border, near LA).

Katrina Dispora?

They aren't concentrated enough anywhere outside Louisiana, except Houston and San Antonio, to make a difference.

Glasscock 10% for Paul, 6% uncommited. Explain?

If you live in a county called Glasscock, I guess it's hard to take anything seriously. (The Democratic primary there is more interesting: 2 votes, split evenly, with 20% reporting.)

Glasscock County, TX was Bush's best county in the nation in 2000. He got 91 point something percent there. Its next to his old home of Midland. The county is so Republican it didn't even have a Democratic Primary in 2004, along with 3 Panhandle counties.
