Wainwright County

Upland textiles area with a growing amount of commuters and retirees. Mostly small towns but with a large-ish suburban area (mostly middle class to upper middle class) in the northeast of the county. Large Evangelical population. Traditionally a modestly affluent area.

Wainright County would be a historically Republican-leaning county that voted solidly Republican in 2004, probably with around 65% of the vote.

Armstrong County

A collection of small and very working class old coal towns with a large and remote rural area that used to be a metal mining centre. Large Evangelical population.

Historically an extremely Democratic County, Armstrong County would have been a swing county in 2004.

Maudling County

An affluent area made up mostly of oldish middle suburbs. Has a fairly large Jewish population in parts but isn't an especially religious area on the whole.

John Kerry would have received upwards of 55%, maybe 60%.

Spa Township

A very rich town surrounded by rich agricultural areas. Increasingly a base for affluent commuters and has no real industrial base.

Bush received 53% of the vote here in 2000, the closest election since surprising wins for Bill Clinton in 1996 and 1992, thanks to a strongly performing Perot.  (I'm not exactly sure what a rich agricultural area is.)
