Iowa county maps: Romney and Ron Paul won Obama counties, Rick Santorum won McCain counties

.
1/4/12, "Rick Santorum: Iowa’s Conservative Choice," Joel B. Pollak, Big Government

"Romney and Paul have largely won in areas that went for Barack Obama, Santorum’s wins have tended to come in areas that voted for John McCain....

The maps below say it all."....(Top map 2012, bottom 2008 Obama/McCain)

(continuing, Big Government): "The upper map is from the Des Moines Register, and shows the county-by-county results in tonight’s caucuses. The red counties are those where Santorum has won or is leading; the blue counties are going for Romney, and the yellow counties to Paul. (Two counties in pink went to Perry; Gingrich, who bested Perry statewide, did not win any counties.)

The lower map is from the New York Times, and shows the county-by-county election results

• from November 2008."
