One of my favorite victories was in Missouri. Here's a breakdown of the voter support for Senator-elect Claire McCaskill by county.
The major urban areas (St, Louis & Kansas City) voted for her. But so did the central-western portion of the state (D-Rep Ike Skelton's territory), the southeastern corridor from St. Louis to the Arkansas boarder, AND the extreme southeastern Mississippi Delta (a nationally consistent Democratic stronghold).
Lost regions? The southwest. Joplin, Missouri might be on route 66, but it's clearly NOT on route 06! And apparently citizens of the state capital are also committed Republicans. But notice all the pale red. 5% or less away from being pale blue....no wonder, Missouri is such a PURPLE state!
