So what made a sizeable number of rural counties in the mid-west with strong German ancestry swing to Obama in 2008, and swing back even more heavily to the Republicans in 2012?

Then why did German areas around here keep trending to Obama?

Which German areas 'around here' are you referring to, Bandit? If true, it would be an interesting exception to the rule.

The counties with Cincinnati and Louisville just keep trending to the Democrats. And Campbell and Kenton counties really didn't trend to the GOP (compared to the country as a whole).

Just out of curiosity - are Northern Kentucky ancestral Germans mostly Catholic or Protestant (Lutheran)?

Mostly Catholic.
