It seems like the most red state was Oklahoma. Obama did not win any county there. None whatsoever.

San Diego County:
Dem: 53.8%
Rep: 44.5%

Despite the biggest military industry in the country, very interesting.

Another interesting result is that all of the coastal regions of California are blue except for Orange County. What's up with that!

Default Connecticut is ALL BLUE

What a great state Connecticut is. Paul Newman's state. Every county voted blue.

Connecticut should be my home.

I don't know anything about the military, but how are they diverse? I just moved to San Diego about 9 months ago, and it's just interesting to see this. I have always sterotyped them as being conservative for the wrong reasons. I am glad that I was wrong.
