Main national page?  I copied the state map directly from there, but I saw no county map.

End of the Dixiecrats (at last). Even in 2004, there were some holdouts for Kerry, especially in the Tennesse Valley, Coal Country, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.

I don't have a filter, but I can't see it either. Is it a member only map?

Shouldn't be.  I've never encountered problems with Photobucket links, but here's an Imageshack link:

I know, the degree to which this state swung is absolutely amazing but its a complete vindication of the "50 state strategy" IMO.  Of course, Obama didn't actually campaign in all 50 states but he did break free from the old Democratic formulas that have kept them out of the White House for 28 of the past 40 years.

I meant that like you I couldn't see a county map on the main national map.

There is also a certain degree of quiet racism that exists there.

But most importantly, it was Kerry's home state. See the swings in South Texas, too.

Regardless, that's not why Massachusetts swung less strongly to Obama than other northern states.
