 62 percent of the vote. This was helped, in part, by winning 98 percent in both Warrensville Heights and East Cleveland, but those towns and Cleveland alone did not provide the countywide margin.

Cities where Obama won every precinct stretched from Lakewood and Brook Park to Cleveland Heights and Orange.

Meanwhile, the only citywide precinct sweeps for Romney were in Brecksville, Highland Heights and Independence, though Romney also did so in a handful of villages on the eastern side of the county.

Romney's strongest area was the precinct covering the portion of Hunting Valley in Cuyahoga County. The Republican won there with 75 percent of the vote.

In comparison, Obama carried at least 75 percent of the vote in nearly half of the precincts countywide (489 of 1,063).

Romney also ran strong in the four adjacent cities on the southern end of Cuyahoga County -- Strongsville, North Royalton, Broadview Heights and Brecksville. He picked up 56 percent of the vote there, though some precincts did vote Democrat.

So put altogether, how important was Cleveland and the rest of Cuyahoga County in the 2012 election?

The unofficial tally shows that Obama won Cuyahoga County by 236,478 votes.

In Ohio's other 87 counties combined, Romney won by 129,219 votes.

In other words, without Cuyahoga County, Romney was the winner in Ohio.
