is anyone else somewhat surprised that the 'battleground' states of wi, mi, nm and nv were all stronger for obama than mn?

also, isnt a bit strange that so many minnesota counties 'trended' (the all important 'trend'!) republican?

now im curious as to how much pawlenty would have helped mccain.

I've already written up on this: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=88499.0

It's actually rather simple: McCain did try for awhile for some reason while Obama mostly ignored it. Look at the Fargo media market where Obama was running ads.

It's also a lot more polarized than most states.

how is it polarized?  race? religion? income?

the trend from 2004 to 08 is difficult to explain.

I guess it just goes to show that the primaries weren't the general election, yet again Tongue

mn had a caucus, which is obviously undemocratic.
