Are those numbers from 2008 or 2012? I feel like Toledo being so high is an artifact of Obama's incredible performance in NW Ohio in 2008.

It appears that most of the Toledo metro area trended Dem in 2012.



Huh. Looks like I have to revise my sense of how Dem Toledo is.

Two words: Auto Bailouts

Toledo is an auto manufacturing town and a pretty blue collar one at that. Virtually all of its upscale suburbs are quite Republican, but it doesn't have many upscale suburbs.

Yeah. I had mentally marked that as a 2008-only phenomenon like McCain's collapse in Michigan, but apparently it didn't recede in 2012.
