In an election that often focused on debates about class warfare, President Barack Obama was favored over multimillionaire businessman Mitt Romney in eight of the nations 10 wealthiest counties.
And his margin of victory in all eight counties was greater than that of the national vote, in which Obama was leading by 50 percent to 48 percent with 97 percent of precincts reporting.
In the richest, Massachusetts Nantucket County, where average annual household income is over $137,000, Obama won by 63 percent to Romneys 36 percent
In none of the richest counties was the margin of victory wider than in Californias Marin County, just north of San Francisco, where the president won by 74 percent to 23 percent, with all precincts reporting. In Marin, the average annual household income is $128,544.
The government class voted for the government class. Big surprise
