The following is a map of all counties in the United States. Counties colored blue were won by Barack Obama and counties colored Red were won by John McCain.
Analysis
There are several notable aspects to this map. One of the most striking is the solid blue that covers all of the northeast, except for one county in Maine. It is also worth mentioning the solid blue along the border between Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota. This (mostly rural) area was usually divided, rather than all counties going to one party. Republicans made progress in Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Kentucky. The black belt (which stretches from the Arkansas border with Mississippi to the Virginia Beach area) remained largely intact for the Democrats.
