While visiting the Lawrence(KS) Journal-World website to get the link for the previous gridiron post, I paused for a moment on the story on the front page: Obama has received more contributions from Kansans than McCain. The Google map on that link shows a lot of blue; I take it that these are the areas where Obama outraised McCain. What I found interesting was the number of blue dots in the western part of the state. When I lived there, Republicans generally ran unopposed in the local and state races, and counties there were proud of the fact that they turned out the highest percentage of Republican votes at all levels. While no one expects Obama to carry Kansas, it’s still an amazing map, and I was surprised to see it.
