Having been raised in Waupaca County Wi, the true surprise is how far it swung D in 2008. 2008 is the first time the county went Democratic since 1936. 2012's results are more normal.
The Illinois counties' swings are not surprising either as the southern part of the state has been swinging towards the GOP for several years now. The problem for the GOP is that it takes a huge amount counties with 10,000 or fewer votes swinging their way to make up for the 6 collar counties around Chicago with a quarter of the state's vote swinging towards the Dems.
