I found the distribution interesting. You can tell the rich towns because, for the most part, they went for McCain. And you can tell the college towns (Keene, Durham, Plymouth) because they overwhelmingly went for Obama :) In Durham, it was 5,363 to 1,838; in Keene, 9,427 to 3,641; and in Plymouth, while the numbers were less skewed, it was 2,703 to 1,130. Londonderry, a particularly wealthy town (where DH's parents happen to live), McCain got 6,879 to Obama's 6,107, but that was fairly abberant. In Swanzey and Sullivan, where my dad and mom live, Obama also had a really good margin.
I like statistics... particularly when they're on "my" side :D
