Since Kentucky's Jackson got one. Tongue

Jackson County, in middle Tennessee, has fewer than 10,000 people, considered 100 percent rural by the Census. The population is 99 percent white, 0.15 percent black, and 18 percent are below the poverty line; the top ethnicities are "American" (55 percent), Irish (10 percent), and English (10 percent).

It has voted relentlessly Democratic, from the days of its namesake till now. The only Republican ever to carry Jackson was Warren Harding, in 1920. recent results:

2000: Gore 70%, Bush 29%
2004: Kerry 59%, Bush 40% [Swing: R+22%]
2008: Obama 49.4%, McCain 48.5% [Swing: R+18%]

2008 Democratic Primary (2,020 votes): Clinton 85%, Obama 10%, Edwards 4%
2008 Republican Primary (799 votes): Huckabee 37%, McCain 27%, Romney 26%, Paul 6%, Thompson 3%

just for lolz, the 1968 result: Humphrey 41%, Wallace 34%, Nixon 25%

Might be worth it to sample this thread on the City-Data board, too:

Freedom Fighters. Gore's percentages are somewhat exaggerated due to him being from the general area. People in that general area haven't lost their marbles yet.

Well, I don't reckon I've ever been in that neck of the woods, so I won't judge, but I probably wouldn't mind hanging out with the 6% who voted for Ron Paul. Smiley
