I assume that Davis' strategy would be to try to win the big 4 counties out right, maximize black turnout, and draw more white working class support than Obama could. That is not a pipe dream given the Republican field. A Kay Ivey or a Tim James would not run well in Jefferson or Montgomery, and Sam Jones proves a black can win in Mobile. Also, AEA and labor would work hard to defeat a conservative pro business Republican and that would help Davis in North Alabama.

The paper copy should have a county wide total for each office.

I want to know if Houston County, Lucy's home (Pansey), went majority Republican or Democratic. I can't seem to find this info anywhere.

Had it been run statewide Obama would have topped out at 42-44% in this state. Remember that Obama has visited Jefferson County more than any of our other past Democratic nominees. He also came to Selma. He did stop in Huntsville for a fundraiser , but not a public appearance to me knowledge. The Birmingham News thinks that only Blacks and Liberals voted for Obama

I think that post combined with this one will give you the info you are asking, but tell me if not.

Then we could draw some very useful insight. If its not too much to ask, could you put all the counties in the list and then maybe rank them by change to democrat and change to republican.
