King County, Texas

61-37 is hardly an overwhelming result for a place like that (Foard County) in 2008. Some of those yellow dogs are still alive and kicking the right lever.

With the likely exception of Austin and environs, that may have been Obama's best showing among white Anglos in the state. I could actually see him carrying Foard, and a few other Plains counties, in 2012- assuming he wins a solid margin nationwide and hasn't imposed shar'ia law.

But he will, so it's moot.

Foard County actually tends to lean Dem in competitive races.  Until recently, Cottle County also favored Dems.  I'd have to look, but I think that Cottle might have even voted for Mondale.

It did. So did Dickens, Stonewall, Fisher and Swisher.
