Why did this county go to Obama?  It is not historically Democratic (has not voted for any losing candidates since 1968; a rural county with this profile I would think would have gone to McCain) and has no cities or universities.  Of the surrounding counties, Forest doesn't even have significantly fewer Germans.

Soulty, thank you so much, this is fascinating.  It's too easy to make assumptions about a rural area's culture, and much more interesting to learn what's actually there.
