It ain't over...till the recount's over

Obama won the state of Minnesota pretty handedly, though there were some almost even breaks when considering issues like the economy, energy policy, protestants and catholics, almost all education groups EXCEPT those with post-graduate degrees, and those that made more than $100,000.

Obama was favored in larger cities and those with between 10,000 and 50,000 residents, but McCain lead narrowly in the suburbs and the candidates were tied in rural areas. These results are significant because of Minnesota's Democratic Farm and Labor party, which endorsed Barrack Obama, typically dominates rural Minnesota.

Independents also heavily favored Barack Obama, along with Democrats. Among the more that 60 percent of voters who said the economy was the most important issue Obama took only 53 percent of the vote

Obama also lead among both men and women, as well as all age groups EXCEPT those between 40 and 49.
