An FDR dem is sort of a traditional pork barrel type of dem; usually working class; not terribly interested in the policy part of politics, but usually votes straight-ticket dem. Here are my guesses:

WA-6
the South Bay in L.A. (minus the wealthy beach communities)
OH-13 (old OH-17)
Iron Range
PA 14
the Suffolk portion of MA 9
Downriver area of Wayne County, MI

anyone else got any others?

Lake, LaPorte, and St. Joseph counties, Indiana? Or more specifically: the Lake Michigan coastline from Chicago to the Michigan border.

Lots of blue-collar whites, Hispanics, blacks, etc. who work in heavy industry that cause those counties to vote heavily Democratic.

Isn't Delaware's democratic base as much suburbanites?

I'd take WI-03 out of there.  That area had actually been represented by Republicans for most of the time before Kind won it in 1996.

I'm pretty sure that 99+% of FDR voters are dead.
