Is this by the 2010 census? If it's based on the more recent estimates, Wake is the largest Obama county.

And of course my county is the biggest for Romney. It's literally voted Democratic once since the Civil War.

Yes this is by the 2010 census, and even by most recent estimate Mecklenburg is still the biggest county, not really sure where you got that from.

I had a fraternity brother from there. Our family went through there 10 years ago when we went to a play. We've been to Hershey several times too and been through Lancaster then as well.

Interesting, by the way I meant he was from Lancaster not I, just in case you thought that. You know where I'm from.

It's OK, not much to see here anyway besides the north woods and some farms. Much of Wisconsin is rural anyway. There are some nice tourism spots to visit near Milwaukee like the Milwaukee County Zoo, and Wisconsin Dells just north of Madison, but overall just an average place to live I suppose.

Corrected Minnesota, Anoka was the largest Romney won, not Stearns. For some reason I though Obama won Anoka.
