The swing was also pretty small; SW Bergen is very marginal. We often think of the shift from 51% R to 51% D as if it were more significant than any other shift of 2% of the vote elsewhere on the spectrum.

At a glance, I think the biggest swing was in Palisades Park, which went from just under 60% Obama in 2008 to about 67% Obama this year. Palisades Park is also the most heavily Asian town in Bergen County (Korean, almost entirely). It does look like there were huge swings in the Asian-heavy areas in SE Bergen and to a lesser extent in the Northern Valley.

If someone supplied me with a base map, I'd do a precinct-by-precinct or town map of Bergen County.
