Pretty interesting to look at. I can peg just about all the blues in my state of Michigan to either Large population centers like Detroit(wayne county) Flint(Genesee) and the tri cities(Saginaw,Bay counties) or basically college town areas Like Ann Arbor(UM) Lansing(MSU) Big Rapids(Ferris State) Marquette, Ishpeming( Michigan Tech, Northern Mi U) I did see one error in Michigan though. I shows Oakland county red. It infact went for Kerry by about 3000 votes.
 
remember that these are counties - so we are not just talking about the cities themselves, but the people that live well outside of the city.

I find it very interesting that the more populated areas seem to go democratic, while counties further away from populated areas, which there are a ton of, go republican.

Along the river are the bigger cities.

Yawp...port towns.

I'd hypothesize that a big city like New York or San Francisco has more in common with, say, Paris or Hong Kong than it does with Whocaresville, USA...

Remnants of old southern democrats and minority voters I would think.

Black voters. Same across the South. Check racial makeup of the counties and you'll find a high % of blacks.

 
Take a look at IL. I thought Kerry took IL but much of it voted for Bush. I'm not trying to say anything here just interesting.

I will disagree. Blacks and the democratic vote are there for the same reason: port towns
