Very interesting stuff historically, as well. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/latimests/20041215/ts_latimes/go phaslockonsouthanddemocratscantfindkey "Kerry won fewer Southern counties than any Democratic nominee since the Depression except Walter F. Mondale in 1984 and George S. McGovern in 1972, according to data assembled by The Times and Polidata, a firm that specializes in political statistics." "In Southern counties without a substantial number of African American or Latino voters, Bush virtually obliterated Kerry. Across the 11 states of the old Confederacy, plus Kentucky and Oklahoma, whites constitute a majority of the population in 1,154 counties. Kerry won 90 of them."
