And please note the part of the state in the Fargo media market swung heavily to Obama.

Other than the areas that are already voting very heavily Republican, rural Minnesota isn't big on "social conservatism" in the sense of the modern day Republican party, that is hardcore Religious Right. Michele Bachmann does NOT appeal to the social views of the Iron Range. Part of the reason the GOP is failing so bad in rural Minnesota in the state legislature and whatnot is they insist on running those type of nuts everywhere figuring any rural socially conservative district is going to elect such a person, then act shocked when it doesn't happen.

BTW the "trend" map on this site basically looks like a media market map. The counties with out of state media markets (where Obama was advertising a lot more than McCain) trended heavily to Obama. The lukewarm swings were mostly in areas that was one of the few parts of the country where McCain was spending more. I actually saw more Obama ads pre-caucus than for the general election. Obama only advertised for about two weeks after the caucus actually. So what can you conclude from that?
