Obama turned out the voters in the only 2 counties that mattered.
How did he not break 40% in Arkansas is what I'm wondering.
There was absolutely no turnout operation in Arkansas.
Seems to actually be a trend in many of the state and county results. Much easier to scare folks in places where they don't see or hear Obama on TV every day or know a zillion people who volunteer for his campaign.
I think the sheer size and power of Obama's operation helped quell racist and inexperience fears in places where it was put to best effect.
