It's interesting to look at some of these margins on fivethirtyeight in some of the deep-red states. McCain leads in: Alabama, 23.8%; Idaho, 23%; Kansas, 16.6%; Nebraska, 21.1%; Oklahoma, 27.7%; Utah, 24.4%. States I haven't listed here aren't quite so ridiculous -- Texas and South Carolina and Louisiana and Kentucky so on are at least under 15%.
It's a little early for schadenfreude, so I won't go there yet. But it really is interesting that some places can be so immune to, well, let's just call them historical trends. Each state really is its own little culture. Idaho is very nearly surrounded by states where Obama is going to romp or come close. But Obama voters there are some of the loneliest people in the country. Strange.
Needless to say, the state (which I've never visited) sorta gives me the heebie-jeebies, starting with the infamous Smurf Turf.
