Post impressive/huge county swings you come across here. Some I found are:

Teton County, Idaho
2000: 65.3 - 27.0 Bush
2004: 60.6 - 38.4 Bush
2008: 49.4 - 48.6 Obama

Floyd County, Kentucky
2004: 63-36 Kerry
2008: 53-45 McCain



Teton is being flooded with non-LDS rich latte liberals who aren't quite rich enough to afford a ranch in Jackson Hole, so they live on the other side of the hill. In other words, much of the swing in driven by demographics rather than minds changing.

^ I think that's fairly obvious--though I've read it's a more affordable place for service workers who work in Jackson Hole to live (so not exactly rich latte liberals). But maybe I'm wrong.

Ya, no doubt the servant class is around, but there are these haciendas sprouting up everywhere, or so I am told by a surveyor who lives there who did some work for a client of mine who bought some land in Fremont County.
