When the county maps for 2000 and 2004 are compared for Kentucky, it can be seen that Southeastern Kentucky contains about 3 Gore-Bush counties. This makes sense to me as Kerry performed worse than Gore in most rural areas. What confuses me are the 5 or so Bush-Kerry counties north of this area. What factors would have caused these rural, and now hard GOP areas to flip to Kerry? Why did this scattering of counties vote this way while the 3 or so Gore-Bush counties voted the exact opposite way?
