That's wierd! I'm guessing the red splodge at the bottom is Madison and surrounding towns? Why are it's surbubs so heavily Democrat?

But Madison is a VERY liberal city, so there's a lot of spillover effect, and probably has much to do with people from the city moving outwards and still voting the same.

Eugene, OR is also extremely Democratic.
