"BUSH COUNTRY"
USA Today has a nifty pair of maps comparing how all of America's counties voted in the 2000 and 2004 elections. The maps looks quite red (Bush), because the blue counties (Gore/Kerry) tend to have much larger populations. It's an interesting visual representation of the urban/rural divide in America, both in terms of culture and politics.
Most of Michigan's counties favor Bush except for a handful in the immediate vicinity of Detroit, the state's largest population center.
The same goes for Pennsylvania, where counties supporting Kerry and Gore can be found around Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
