An interesting map. Where McCain was strongest and Obama was weakest is right where many would have predicted in such a hypothetical match-up years ago - a line from Southside Virginia, skirting mostly South of Appalachia and ending in the northern reaches of Louisiana and the far Eastern counties of Texas.
This map should leave the RNC worried as it makes clear Obama's strength among non-black voters in some of the main supposedly-purple states: Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Colorado and New Mexico.
