If you want to know how the 2008 presidential election was won you need to look no further than the nation's biggest foreclosure centers.
Seven of the top 10 foreclosure states voted Republican in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, while three states went Democratic. This time around the Democrats captured eight of the top 10 foreclosure states.
The difference in terms of electoral votes is significant. In the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections today's 10 leading foreclosure states produced 97 electoral votes for George Bush and 87 votes for Al Gore (2000) and John Kerry (2004). In 2008 the top-10 states generated 159 electoral votes for Obama — and just 25 for McCain.
