Largest Cities to Go Republican in Each State

I'm pretty sure that for Kentucky it would be Florence. I'm almost certain Obama won Owensboro.

Hmmm.. A person a day or two ago told me that Romney did win Owensboro. For right now I'll leave it as a question.

I checked all the larger cities in Kentucky after the election, and I concluded it's just about impossible that Romney won Owensboro.

Obama won Covington, Newport, and the like, so I have no doubt at all he won Owensboro.

I just checked about Hopkinsville and McCain won it, and Romney did better in the county so he at least won it too. So that means Hopkinsville would be largest.

I checked Hopkinsville after the election, and that was another city that I concluded Obama won. Remember, while rural areas swung Republican, urban areas swung Democratic. For instance, Franklin County (home of Frankfort) went McCain in '08 but Obama in '12.

Ok, so you're absolutely sure that the largest city Romney won was Florence?

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm maybe 97% sure.

Since you seem pretty dedicated, I'll change it to Florence. Thank you for telling me.

Don't take my word for it, but I just can't see how Romney won Owensboro or Hopkinsville based on the maps I saw.

Believe me, I did the actual precinct math. It was very close - though not quite as ultra-close as Obama's win in the only minimally larger Bowling Green - but Romney won Owensboro. Obama won the older, northern half of it, of course, and easily.

Precinct boundaries in Kentucky don't always follow city boundaries, and when they do, they're not always named for the city they represent. For instance, the precinct that represents Woodlawn (a tiny suburb in Campbell County) is one of the Newport-named precincts. It took me a while to figure out that Obama actually won Woodlawn.
