We determined in another thread that Obama won Charleston and Springfield handily.

So why is Carson City such an unusually gop capital city for a lean blue state? I guess it's basically a typical small nevada town that has little relation politically to the democratic enclaves of Vegas and Reno? Though Obama won it in 08 so i'd guess it's politically swingy overall.

Basically the city expanded to fill the whole county (Ormsby County). So it includes suburbs too.

Now what's the deal with airline peanuts Cheyenne, Pierre, Bismark, and Oklahoma City?

The first 3 are SMALL cities in right-wing states. Obama probably would have won Oklahoma City if the city didn't expand into areas that are actually suburban.
