I'm guessing Colorado Springs? Lots of religious right around there.

That's what I was thinking, but is it that far south?

That would make sense.

Now compare that map to these (from May 20): Appalachia's Last Chance to Show It Doesn't Have an Obama Problem

Maps that show were Hilary won 50%, 60% and 70% of the primary vote.

From a NYT piece on the Obama family transition:

But in one respect, the Obamas’ family life will now become much easier. Since 1996, when he was elected to the Illinois State Senate, Mr. Obama has spent long periods away from home, and by his own admission, he is a part-time parent at best. The past six years have been a particularly punishing set of marathons, as he ran for a United States Senate seat, then spent weekdays in Washington, then traveled on the presidential campaign trail for nearly two long years.

His election will help realize a long-held, cherished family dream: For the next four years, the Obamas will finally eat dinner together.

Maps that show were Hilary won 50%, 60% and 70% of the primary vote.

I'm curious, though, what the ratio of Dems to Repubs is in those areas. Just because Hilary won those big in the primary doesn't mean they are strong areas for the Democrats.

Yep. Allergies again.

Just got caught up from yesterday, and I had to share an Alabama anecdote from yesterday afternoon. I was trying to get information on an Alabama ballot issue that was still undecided, so I figured I'd try with the county whose taxes the issue was deciding. I called the Limestone County county registrar's office, and reached a woman with one of the deepest, slowest drawls I'v ever heard. When I asked her if they had any results on the issue, she said, "Wellll, I don' know anythin' myself, but someone just came in who might. Yo, Jim! D'ya know anythin' about the tax issue? No? Sorry, ma'am, we got nothin' here." So perfectly Southern!

Oh, and last night at the bookstore, I was getting fed up with all the people coming in looking for either the Tribune or the Sun-Times. People, you have to get your papers early in the morning after a big happening--don't you know that by now?!? We were sold out of our four copies of each within minutes after we opened that morning.

Even the Baltimore sun is doing a second run of the Weds paper.

No, I'm saying the implication is that those parts of the country are more racist.

For the next four years, the Obamas will finally eat dinner together.

You know, unless he's busy being President. t /cynic
