I was genuinely surprised at the success of Obama/Biden around the county, and I was also surprised to see the level of support Bush received in both 2000 and 2004. I definitely see an argument in the data that Lancastrians vote for who they think is a good candidate, rather than <i>against</i> who they think is a bad one. That argument could then lead to a suggestion that any pro-Democratic trend could very easily reverse in 2016 (or even 2012) if the Democrats have a candidate at the top of their ticket who is something less than the excellent campaigner Obama proved to be.

(and use my mac to work up some pretty graphics) :-) hmmm I was just working my way through the data this morning, I think I may have to write an alternate post to your data interpretation.
