He carried 237 last time under the new lines.  Any districts that Obama lost last time that he might carry and vise versa?

If there was a sortable spreadsheet, it'd be easy to make guesses with uniform swing. (This Daily Kos one doesn't seem to be sortable).

As it stands, with 538 projecting a PV victory of about 3.5 points, I'm guessing that would leave Obama with perhaps a bare majority of CDs. Obama winning with a minority is very plausible.

As for McCain/Obama districts, the least McCain AZ districts seem to be the best shots (AZ-02 at 50-49 being the most plausible, followed by AZ-01 at 51-47).

Obama/Romney districts will mostly be the narrowly Obama districts from 2008. CT-04 (Fairfield County, home to lots of finance types) is probably the strongest Obama district (at 60%) that Romney has a reasonable chance at carrying.

Are we talking 2008 district lines or 2012 district lines?
