2000-Gore 69.36%, Bush 24.13%, Nader 5.56%

[Mz Pip]

9. Me, too!

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

4. It wasn't even close, so no reason to depress myself by looking up the exact numbers.

I live in Ada County in Idaho.

[ccharles000]

11. Try to have hope.

You could have a Dem rep this year

Walt Minnick (D): 48
Bill Sali (R-inc): 41
(MoE: ±5.9%)

[Left Is Write]

35. Oh, I definitely have hope. Bill Sali is not especially popular.

I just don't want to revisit 2000/2004.

[ccharles000]

38. hugs

[Left Is Write]

42. Thank you...

:)

[tularetom]

5. 2 votes for Kerry (wife and I), 1500 for boosh

Not that bad of course 5215 or 60% to 3251 or 37% but it was pretty one sided.

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. Weird. Kerry is shown as red and ** as blue

http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/statesub.php?year=2004&fips=23021&f=1&off=0&elect=0

[ccharles000]

7. I know it looks weird.

[bkcc]

15. Yeah. That messed with my head as well.

Took me a minute to process what I was looking at.

[GreenInNC]

32. Before 2000

It is only recently the party's took on colors, it used to have something to do with which party was in power determined which color you got.

[CreekDog]

8. San Mateo, CA

2004 K:69 B:29
2000 G:64 B:31 N:4

[MassLiberal]

10. New Haven county, CT

2004:
Kerry 54.33%
Bush 43.78%

2000:
Gore 58.03%
Bush 36.04%

[Bucky]

12. Harris County, Texas... Bush 55%; Kerry 44%

Polls currently show Obama here ahead by 2.

[mmonk]

13. A little misleading in a way. District wise went different than county wise.

Wake County NC is in three Congressional districts that vote very differently. That being said:

2000: Bush 53.13 Gore 46.03
2004: Bush 50.83 Kerry 48.71

[AnOhioan]

14. Cuyahoga County, Ohio (Cleveland)

2004

Kerry/Edwards 448,503 66.57%

Bush/Cheney 221,600 32.89%



2000

Gore/XXX 359,913 62.62%

Bush/Cheney 192,099 33.42%

[notheyrejustwrong]

16. Montgomery County PA

Kerry 55.57
Bush 43.98

Gore 50.6
Bush 46.43

Dems took PA both times

Pennsylvania 6th district (the Pterodactyl district)

[stillcool]

17. 58/40-Kerry 57/37-Gore

what a trip to see Pat Buchanan's name there.

[David__77]

18. Sacramento County, CA, 2004: Kerry 49.5/Bush 49.3; 2000: Gore 49.3/Bush 45.3

I would very easily bet that there will be a much larger Democratic margin this time around. We have a 44-32 percent lead in registration now. It was 43-36 percent four years ago. And the composition of the Democrats is better now, with the old Reaganites gone.

[Realityhack]

19. Interesting choice of colors n/t

[Curtland1015]

20. Schenectady County, NY- Kerry 51%, Bush 46%

We're in a pretty low wealth, urban area. Kinda shocks me that it was that close.

[Starry Messenger]

21. Alameda County, CA

John Kerry John Edwards Democratic 422,585 75.18%
George W. Bush Richard Cheney Republican 130,911 23.29%



Albert Gore Jr. Joseph Lieberman Democratic 342,889 69.36%
George W. Bush Richard Cheney Republican 119,279 24.13%
Ralph Nader Winona LaDuke Green 27,499 5.56%

Interesting.

[TheDoorbellRang]

22. Audrain CO, MO

Kerry 40.4% 4,318
Bush 58.9% 6,294
Other 0.7% 71

But now I'm in Denny Hastert's old district in Kane CO, IL. Here's the vote back in 2004:

Kerry 44.1% 73,813
Bush 55.0% 92,065
Other 0.8% 1,419

This will be fun to check back on after next Tuesday. Thanks for the link!

[RayOfHope]

69. Hey there! I grew up in Callaway Co. n/t

[ncgrits]

23. Orange Co. NC: Kerry 67%, Bush 32%. Gore 63%, Bush 36%.

Always true blue in the real OC!
(Colors threw me for a minute.)

[Smuckies]

24. McLean county IL - 57.63 Bush, 41.72% Kerry...

2000: 55.84 Bush, 40.95% Gore.

[KamaAina]

25. City and County of Honolulu, HI: * nearly flipped it!

Only Kerry's strength on the Neighbor Islands kept us from "swing state" status! I had no idea... :scared:

John Kerry John Edwards Democratic 152,500 51.08%
George W. Bush Richard Cheney Republican 144,157 48.29%
David Cobb Patricia LaMarche Green 1,041 0.35%

especially considering...

Ralph Nader Winona LaDuke HI Green 13,037 5.09%
Harry Browne Art Olivier Libertarian 912 0.36%
Patrick Buchanan Ezola Foster Reform 708 0.28%
Other (+) - - 405 0.16%

How on Earth does the shrubbery pick up 34,000 votes after people have watched him screw up for four years? Good thing we have a local boy on the ticket this year, or we'd be in deep kim chee!

[FreeState]

26. San Diego CA: 2004 Bush 52 Kerry 46 // 2000 Bush 50 Gore 49

[asdjrocky]

27. San Joaquin County, Ca-

Remember, not all of Ca is a nice shade of blue, some of it is sadly red. Funny maps, they had Dem states and counties in red and pugs in blue.

Bush 81,773 48.90%
Gore 79,776 47.70%

Bush - 100,978 - 53.18%
Kerry - 87,012 45.83%

[litlady]

44. I just read that San Joaquin now went blue because of new voter registration...

along with Stanislaus, Ventura, and San Bernardino!

:-)

There has been record new voter registration in many counties, much of it Democratic.

[TexasLady]

28. BLECH! Bell County, Texas

Bell County 2000
Bush Cheney 50.4%
Gore 49.4%
(WOW! didnt know this!!! Im an admitted late political bloomer, having voted for the first time in last Pres Election of '04)


Bell County 2004
Bush Cheney Republican 65.39%
Kerry Edwards Democratic 34.07%


Edited to add...this includes Ft. Hood. Where Obama stickers this year abound!

[tledford]

29. Typo -- Guilford.

Hi, ccharles000, I live in Greensboro, too!

I remembered that Kerry squeaked by in 2004, but I had forgotten until I checked a few weeks ago that Bush carried Guilford in 2000. Both, as you point out, AWFULLY close.

Something tells me that Obama will carry Guilford next Tuesday, 52% - 47%, with 1% going to Barr/Nader/Cynthia-whatshername. More predictions:

Forsyth (Winston-Salem): Obama 51%, McCain 48%
Mecklenburg (Charlotte): Obama 51%, McCain 48%
Durham (Durham): Obama 57%, McCain 42%
Orange (Chapel Hill): Obama 55%, McCain 44%
Wake (Raleigh): Obama 52%, McCain 47%
New Hanover (Wilmington): Obama 52%, McCain 47%
Buncombe (Asheville): Obama 55%, McCain 44%

Then there will be a handful of sparsely populated counties in the northeastern part of the state and the odd county or six in the mountains (other than Buncombe) that will go for Obama, too. Note that a big chunk of the state's population (roughly 50%) is in the seven counties (out of 100) listed above. Obama will carry NC 51% to 48%, winning all 15 of North Carolina's electoral votes.

Of course, YMMV.

[ccharles000]

41. OMG thanks for telling me.

I hate when I do things like that. I wish I could edit but I no longer can.

[GreenInNC]

30. Mecklenburg (Charlotte), NC

'04 K-52% B-48%
'00 B-51% G-48% Browne and Buchanan split the remaining 1%

[Faygo Kid]

31. Montgomery County, MD. Blue, blue, blue, blue.

Never close. Chris Van Hollen is Congress critter.

Obama will come close to 70 percent here.

[ColbertWatcher]

33. LA COUNTY IN THE HIZZOUSE!

2004
President Kerry/Edwards- 63.10%

[ecstatic]

36. John Kerry got 72.6% of the vote in my county (Dekalb GA)

small oasis of blue in a repug state.

[RebelOne]

58. Quite a difference in the votes in Cherokee County.

See figures in my post below.

[PBS Poll-435]

37. Dallas County, TX 2004 - 50.4-Bush/49.0-Kerry 2000 52.9-Bush/44.9 - Gore

2004 - Bush 61.76%, Kerry 32.47%

2000 - Bush 58.48, Gore 38.73

It's so red around here that my vote is more important for the House and the Senate than for President.

[Mudoria]

47. Rowan County NC

2004

Bush 67%
Kerry 32%

2000

Bush 65%
Gore 33%

Probably an overwhelming McCain county this year as well :(

[GreenInNC]

55. Isn't that where liddy is "from"?

I use the term "from" very loosly considering she has not lived in NC for over 40 years.

[tledford]

64. That's where she was born and where her mother lived until she died at 102 years old in 2004. eom

[bushisanidiot]

51. Los Angeles County, California

John Kerry, 63.10%

Asshole, 35.60%

:hi:

[OnionPatch]

53. Very cool. I'm going to use this when we relocate.

We moved out here to California 12 years ago thinking anywhere in the state would be pretty cool, but found out we're in one of the reddest ares of the state. I won't make that mistake again. We plan to move back east sometime in the next five years, so I'll keep this for reference. Living surrounded by RWers has pretty much sucked.

BTW, my old home county in Ohio, where I was born and raised, was for Kerry! Hurrah for you, Jefferson County! Maybe you *can* go home again.

[cyndensco]

66. FYI - There is another helpful resource you might consider when you relocate.

Most larger libraries carry a "Demographics by Zip Code" tome. We used it successfully when we moved to Ct. years ago and found the perfect, diverse community. Our move to the Milwaukee area was not so easy. This area is extremely segregated.

You are right, though - it is hard being surrounded by folks who proudly display their mccain/palin yard signs. We plan to return to the east coast as soon as the market rebounds and we can sell our house. We will definitely refer to this website before making any final decisions.

[OnionPatch]

71. Thanks! Good to know.

I'll make a note to myself. It really is harder than I thought living in a red area. I find myself alienated from my neighbors and actually feeling hateful toward them on bad days. Many of my daughter's friends at school have whacko-right-wing parents who completely snub me, even though our kids are best friends! (I never talk politics to them but they've seen my bumper sticker.) Also, I would like to be more involved in my community but not when it's filled with moronic right-wing evangelicals. The other day I had to bypass my planned trip to the drugstore when I found it surrounded with "Christians" holding "Yes on 8" signs. :puke:

We're also waiting for the market to rebound so we can sell and get outa here.

[KingFlorez]

54. 51-48 Bush

I think Ventura County, CA will flip this year though

[Kaylee]

56. Ugh...In my little oasis of idiots...Anne Arundel Co. Maryland

Kerry 43.1% 103,324
Bush 55.6% 133,231
Other 1.3% 3,112

Gore 44.67% 89,624
Bush 51.93% 104,209

I'm surrounded by McCain/Palin yard signs, but I take comfort that the rest of Maryland will keep it a blue as the deep blue sea.

[RebelOne]

57. Cherokee County, Georgia, almost totally Republican

Presidential 2004

Bush/Cheney - 79.04%
