Mary, have you seen the new voters' map showing Obama's gain by county? Download it and print it and pull it out to show your friends when they criticize you - there is hardly a county in the USA that didn't vote more for Obama than they voted Democrat in the last election. Yours may be one of them, of course, but you are most certainly among the majority.
Scavella--I have. Unfortunately, I'm in one of the "red counties" in Missouri. Only about thirty percent of us us voted for him here. Interestingly, over all, Missouri was about 50-50 though with something like 7/8 of a point difference. We were a nearly even split during the Civil War too, which somehow seems connected to the present atmosphere.

Fascinating.
