I don't think KY 2000 was a GOP gerrymander or even an incumbent gerrymander. According to polidata.org these are the changes in the Gore/Bush numbers.

KY-1: 1% more GOP
KY-2: 1.4% more Dem
KY-3: 2.5% more GOP
KY-4: no change
KY-5: 0.6% more Dem
KY-6: 0.1% more Dem

Looks like there were very small changes, only to maintain population equality. KY-3 may have needed to expand, moreso than protecting Northup.

It's not just that. The southern end of coal country has swung really, really, heavily to the GOP over the last decade. Like, really heavily. Like they've rediscovered their submerged GOP roots after 70 years.

Have they swung nearly as strong in House/Senate races?
