Why was this place so Democratic in the 19th/early 20th century? And why did that disintegrate so badly? McCain won it 2:1, Obama did worse than McGovern. Actually it swung TOWARD McCain, yet voted Democratic as recently as 1992.

Can you say the party switching during the 50's and 60's?

Congratulations on a complete simplification of a very nuanced and complex situation, obvious lack of understanding of what happened in various regions, and an even more obvious misreading of my post.

(Not as dumb as Ronnie's "typical white southerners" comment though, I'll give you that.)

Mostly German.

Did vote 2:1 for Al Smith though when he got clobbered in the surrounding areas.
