Looks like after all the votes were counted, Anne Arundel County Maryland -- where Annapolis, the Naval Academy, is located -- went for Romney by only 200 votes.

The fact Obama essentially tied Romney there is noteworthy, and could indicate one of the last GOP holdouts in the Washington DC Maryland suburbs is starting to tilt Blue.

Four years ago, McCain carried it with about a 3800 vote margin.

In 2004, it wasn't even close. Bush won it 55 to 43.  Bush won it by similarly large margins in 2000. Even Dole carried it by 6 points over Clinton in 1996.  Honestly don't know if a Democrat has ever won that county in modern times.

Anyone know if this was just Obama, or is Anne Arundel rapidly turning more blue to align with its Washington-Baltimore area neighbors?

Fact Montgomery County Maryland is now a 70 plus Democratic county, with 1 million residents no less, is quite remarkable when you consider it was still a toss up county in the 1980s. 

Reagan won it with 50 percent in 1984, and Bush I even managed 48 percent in 1992.  Even in past decade, seems all of the DC Maryland suburbs have moved about 10 percent points more D than they were in 2000.
