Unless there's some reporting error around - maybe the Atlas has the candidates reversed for 2008? - I think I've found the most impressive swing since the days when the south was utterly unpredictable in the 60s and 70s...

Hancock County, Indiana. Suburban county just east of Indianapolis.

2004 Bush 75, Kerry 25

2008 Obama 64, McCain 35.

Wtf?

Yeah, candidates are reversed.  Still impressive, but no way a federal Democrat wins Hancock County.

Yeah, I've been living in Hoosierland enough to attest to that Smiley.  No way a local Democrat wins there either.
