You have to admit, Oklahoma is an interesting case. Many states that are not what you would normally expect can be easily explained by one of the candidates being from that state. Religion can explain a place like Utah and family ties can explain a place like Michigan. And while I would not have expected states like Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia to be contributing more money to Democrats than Republicans, they are only >50% Democrat. But Oklahoma is over 70% Democrat and I cannot think of any particular reason why. In some states, wealthier urban liberals push the Democrats up. But I cannot imagine wealthy people in a place like Oklahoma supporting the Democrats.

Several of these states are obviously pushed in one direction or the other by home state effects.  NC and NM obviously.  MI is probably pushed towards the GOP by Romney's family connections.  And WI might be light red if not for T. Thompson.  But I find it hilarious that Gilmore's fundraising was so meager that he wasn't even able to prevent VA from giving more to the Dems....even though this is a GOP-leaning state!

[Jeff from NC]

Is Gilmore well-regarded by, well, anyone?  I was under the impression he created the financial crisis that allowed Mark Warner to shine.

[Adlai Stevenson]

Considering how Democratic Arkansas is at the state level, I'm surprised to see it 73% Republican.  I suppose that is Mike Huckabee, but his fundraising efforts have been meagre.  One would think that Hillary's campaign might have targeted Arkansas donors with Bill Clinton's help.

Not surprised at all about MI.  Lots of the big shots in manufacturing give big to the republicans (ie. the DeVos's, auto industry execs, etc).  This fact of course, drives the working man to vote Democrat.  After all, the guy with the multi-million dollar bonus who fights you getting a two cent raise is quite likely going to support the candidated who you are NOT going to vote for.
