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.

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