2008 vote research part 3: Trouble in Berryville

I know I've been hammering this down ridiculously, but if you've been here long enough, it will consume you.

Down in Arkansas county, the the land of Berry's birth, Arelections.org shows that, in Arkansas County, Obama, the man Berry supposedly vouched for, wasn't even able to hit the 40% mark. While the county has voted for Republicans before, never has it so blatantly deaf to a Democratic Presidential Campaign.

Here's more numbers:

(in the city of Stuttgart, where he started his career as a city councilman)

Stuttgart(Ward 1)-16.8% McCain/ 80.2% Obama

Stuttgart(Ward 2)-71.2% McCain/ 26.4% Obama

Stuttgart(Ward 3)-68.8% McCain/ 29.1% Obama

By the way, Ward 1, where it was obviously an Obama landslide, is located in the central part of the city, where virtually the entire black population lives.

Gillett- 67.6% McCain/ 29.1% Obama


(Gillett is where the Congressman currently lives)

DeWitt(Ward 1)- 25.6% McCain/ 71.4 % Obama

DeWitt(Ward 2)- 63% McCain/ 31.5% Obama

DeWitt(Ward 3)- 70.1% McCain/ 20.5% Obama

(DeWitt is where a huge share of the congressman's donors come from, especially in proportion to the population)
