Areas around bodies of water and major trade routes in this country are usually always "blue". Maybe its multiculturalism, maybe its education levels in and around cities, who knows. I'm sure there are lots of studies and articles about it, but I'm too lazy/drunk to look for them.
There's probably a level of xenophobia (at least based on what I've seen around the country) in more rural areas which is why "they" pepper language about Obama as being an outsider, and "not like us".
