Possible explanations for the states that swung to Obama ?

AK: probably Palin not being on the ballot anymore, homestate effect in 2008

LA & MS: white people who saw that the black Obama is not the Anti-Christ and that the world still stands after 4 years

MD: liberals turning out for the gay marriage amendment ?

NJ & NY: Sandy and the Osama-got-killed-effect

I think it has more to do with increasing black turnout in both states.

For Mississippi I agree, but displaced black people are moving back to Louisiana post Katrina, which increased black turnout there this year.

AK: Palin fans ticked at Romney not embracing her
MS-LA: Evangelical Christians not thrilled with Romney (same reason Repub vote total dropped in Tenn, Alabama, Okla) In LA white turnout was same % as 08 but black turnout ticked up 2%

NY-NJ: You know..

MD:  Trending Democratic at a rate far above any nat'l average.  Fast growing democratic constituents, Republicans slowly trickling out

--------

In NY Obama won at least one county in each of the 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 percent ranges. Well done there

So you're saying the Palin lovers still left in Alaska were ticked that Romney didn't embrace her, so they went and voted for Obama?? Or are you saying they just stayed home?
