Is there any metropolitan area in a swing state that is more McCain friendly Jacksonville, Florida? Charlotte, North Carolina? St. Louis, Missouri? In 2004, in Duval County, which shares the same borders as Jacksonville, voted Bush over Kerry at a 58% to 42% margin. I believe the margin could be greater for McCain this year. I just drove two miles from my sister's house and counted 28 McCain/Palin signs and 0 for "that One."
