my hometown of Memphis: Shelby County, TN
2000: Gore 56.42% Bush 42.09%
2004: Kerry 57.50% Bush 41.91%
Interestingly enough, my county was the only county in Tennessee that Kerry did better than Gore. There's an obvious explanation though: white flight to either neighboring counties Desoto, MS or Fayette, TN. Also, as of (I believe) 2004, Shelby County is now majority black.
My college Auburn University: Lee County, AL
2000: Bush 58.63% Gore 39.08%
2004: Bush 62.70% Kerry 36.38%
Auburn is an overall conservative college, and Lee Co. is about as Republican as the state
