This comports with what Freeper LS reported from his precincts. If what he reported holds for the counties mentioned in the article, a lot of those "red" county republicans actually voted for "the One." Strangest election ever. Did self-hating conservatives vote for Obama to atone for some obscure sins? Also, it seems, the base simply didn't turn out. Palin drew in many, but not enough win.
There's some validity to what you say. My next door neighbor voted for Obama because he said he just couldn't resist being part of something truly historic. He told me this after a couple of six packs last night. I thought I was going to faint. This guy is a retired Navy Chief and he spent a couple Saturdays with me making calls and doing door knocks for McCain. I just can't believe it!
