Here’s how Barack Obama did. The four color ranges represent, from light to dark and in simple quartiles, the percentage of total votes Obama received in each county. Height shows the number of votes Obama received.

Here’s how John McCain did. Again, four color ranges representing share of votes, and height showing the number of McCain votes.

Compare those maps to their equivalents from the 2004 presidential election. John Kerry in blue, George W. Bush in red.

The next two are slightly more complicated. I’m not convinced they actually work terribly well, but I made them, so here they are. The first shows the difference between Obama’s 2008 performance and Kerry’s in 2004. There are six color ranges that represent the percentage difference between the number of votes received by Obama and Kerry. Three red shades represent declines from 2004 to 2008. From dark to light red: -65% to -40%, -39% to -20% and -19% to 0. Three green shades represent increases. From light to dark green: 0 to +20%, +21% to +40% and +41% to +110%. Each county’s height shows the simple numerical difference in the number of Democratic votes in 2004 and 2008. A bit hard to tell in the small version of the map below, but negative values actually do dip below the, um, earth’s surface.

And here’s the same deal comparing McCain’s 2008 performance to Bush’s in 2004. From dark to light red: -67% to -40%, -39% to -20% and -19% to 0. And from light to dark green: 0 to +20%, +21% to +40% and +41% to +56%. Anything catch your eye when you compare this map to the one above? You might have to look carefully, as it’s very subtle.

Last set. As in the first set, these are again shaded by the percentage of votes received by Obama and McCain. Four colors, simple quartiles, light is low, dark is high. But in this case height represents the difference between Obama’s total votes and McCain’s. Obviously, these maps mirror each other, but I like looking at them separately.

And from McCain’s perspective.
