Michigan is polarized, look at western (Ottawa, Kent) michigan and (Wayne)Detroit, both parties have a good 40% core supporters.

I wouldn't say it's that polarized, really.  Nearly 80% of Michigan's counties were won with less than 60% of the vote.

The question is are we counting geographic distributions? An area that is 50% Kerry and 50% Bush can still be very polarized at the individual level.

If one ignores rural areas and focuses more on higher population centers, it is hard to top Michigan, when one compares Wayne County to Ottawa County.

San Francisco and Orange counties, California. That was easy.
