	<abstract><![CDATA[<p>Matthew Yglesias <a href="http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/archives/2008/11/the_mccain_belt.php">points out</a> an interesting <em>New York Times</em> <a href="http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/president/map.html">map</a> on the one part of the country where John McCain did significantly better than George W. Bush -- Appalachia.</p>

<p>As Ygleias writes:</p>

<blockquote>You can see why John McCain's principled stand against higher taxes on the wealthy would have a special resonance in this region. Liberals who thought race had something to do with those appeals should be ashamed of themselves.</blockquote>]]></abstract>
