A Boulder story

Boulder is seen as a far-left part of the country, like San Fran (one of my favorite cities!)  "Folks here don't vote for the Democrat, but go for Nader!"

The NYT has an excellent graphic giving county-wise results, not just for 2008, but all Presidential elections since 1992.  The data bear out a strong preference for Nader/Perot in the '92, '96, and 2000 elections:

1992: Clinton 50.9% (64,567), Bush 26.5% (the rest Perot?)

1996: Clinton 52.2% (63,316), Dole 34.5% (the rest Perot?)

2000: Gore 50.1% (69,983), Bush 36.4% (the rest Nader?)

2004: Kerry 66.3% (105,564), Bush 32.4% (Nader out!)

2008: (29% reporting) Obama 75.2% (43,347), McCain 23.5% - ~100,000 votes to be counted

Obama currently leads Colorado by 138k votes - if the Boulder split holds up, add another 50k to that lead.

Yes. We. Did.
