4. I understand how he's using the quote marks.
But I'm trying to determine if their content is correct. While I suspect it is, I might point out some statistics left out of the dream:

In Clermont County, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer:

"The county has 128,396 registered voters, and Democrats had accounted for about 11 percent of those, or 14,496.

"On Tuesday, 26,279 Democratic ballots were cast - nearly 47 percent of the 56,136 total votes.

<...>

"GOP ballots totaled 28,032..."

From this we know two facts. First, Republican voters still outnumbnered Democratic, but the change is remarkable in this reddest of red counties. Second, of 26,279 Dem ballots, Clinton took 15,850, so we can assume Obama took most of the 10,429 remaining Democratic votes. While that's a pretty big split for Clinton, Obama did not show so poorly, and neither did the party.
