Clark County, Ohio moves toward the Republicans.–

According to the Guardian, in 2000 Clark County went 0.3% for Gore while Ohio went 3.9% for Bush, so it was 4.2% more Democratic than the rest of the state. In 2004 Clark County went for Bush by 2.4% over Kerry (compared to about 2.7% for Ohio in 2004).

So Clark County moved 3.9% toward the Republicans compared to the rest of the state. I wonder if the Guardian’s letter writing campaign had any effect. Tim Blair comments as well.

UPDATE: Just to clarify, the 2000 data above comes from the official vote counts because I found a problem with the Guardian rounding 0.3% up to 1%.
