Ok, with the final numbers in, my parish (what Louisiana calls a county) did in fact go for Obama (51%-48%) not for McCain like they were reporting last night. This makes me feel much better, ironically -- it certainly didn't make a difference in the whole state, but it's nice to know that I didn't really misjudge my city (although it was still closer than I expected).

Louisiana has 64 parishes. Of those, only 10 went for Obama:

Caddo (where Shreveport is located)
East Baton Rouge (where Baton Rouge, the capital, is located, and where I live)
East Carroll
Iberville
Madison
Orleans (where New Orleans is located)
St. Helena
St. James
St. John the Baptist
Tensas

Hurrah for the little islands of blue in the sea of red.

Richland County in SC went 60-30 for Obama! Can you believe that? Of course SC as a whole went for McCain, but when I did the county-by-county NYT map I saw a surprisingly large amount of blue.

Go Howard Dean and the 50 state strategy!

Fully agreed on the Arkansas thing!

Really? I'm amazed Richland went for Obama. Kinda proud too :)
