| COLORADO: Obama flipped three swing counties Bush won in 2004 -- Arapahoe, Jefferson and Larimer -- and overperformed Kerry in every county in the state. Obama also flipped Ouray, which had gone 52%-47% for Bush, but went 53%-45% for Obama. |
Jefferson county is where I worked over the last few months on the Obama campaign. Hellz yea we kicked some ass! Also CO had the best contact rate in terms of voters being asked to get out to vote:

What about all the counties in the south? Obama did worse all along in the south compare to Kerry, AlGore and Clinton. What are your thoughts on that? |

racism ftw
And you're wrong about the south.
sry it's so small but that's the best I could find.
That map shows whether a county voted more blue or more red than 2004. So even if it went republican overall, if there was a higher blue vote then it comes out blue on here. As you can see the amount of red is very small, so that means very few places voted more republican than in 04.
Look closely and you'll see there are a lot of places in the south where obama increased on 04. The red goes up into Appalachia where racism was a concern.
Thanks fakeshaver =) |

Dude I saw it on the night of the election. Map of counties result. For this election and the past two elections and the guy was also addressing it. I dont know where you got that map. But CNN had different results. |
