2008 Campaign Event Map - John McCain/Sarah Palin


The following map highlights the counties that John McCain and/or Sarah Palin held a campaign event during the general election campaign. A campaign event is an event which is open to the public and announced in advance.

McCain/Palin held 267 campaign events in 157 counties, and 28 states. McCain/Palin won 60 out of the 157 counties which they visited (38%).

Note: In Virginia, unlike other states, is organized into both independent cities and counties. In order for campaign visits to be visible, I highlighted the surrounding county around the city which was visited.
