WV. I felt like some counties that held out in 2008, like Braxton and Webster, should never be lost by a Democrat.

I remember first looking at the WV results on election night and being pretty shocked. I knew Obama would slip, but I wasn't expecting an all-county shutout.


The first clue of that was Kentucky; counties that went >60% Kerry were showing as >70% Romney. He nearly even won Elliott! Sad

I guess I was disappointed in PA; the GOP's gerrymandering worked really well in the House races (suburban Philly's been sliced into an unholy abomination), and thanks to Romney's last-minute money dump and Obama mostly ignoring the state, it was closer than it should have been.

It is INEXCUSABLE that GARLAND BARR IV of all people won that congressional seat in Kentucky.

Count on him being a one-termer.

How much must it hurt that several >60% Kerry/Gore counties gave Obama less than 30% of the vote?

Why did Elliott in particular hold for Obama? Is it particularly poor, or is there a presence of non-Blue Dog Democrats?
