Interesting Presidential results in some Congressional districts

[Mr.Phips]

Im calculating Presidential results and some Congressional districts and am getting some surprises.

CO-03, which up through the 1970's was considered the most Democratic district in the state(It was the only district in the mountain west that Humpherey carried in 1968), voted 53%-45% for Romney, almost as bad as Kerry's loss here in 2004 when the state was much more Republican.

IN-08 voted 58%-40% for Romney after McCain only won it 50%-48% in 2008.  This was nearly as bad as Kerry's 61%-39% loss here in 2004.  

SC-05 see no swing from 2008, with Romney winning 55%-43%, not a bad result for the deep south at all.  This is actually a district I think Democrats should target.  

SC-07 is another district that doesnt move an inch, going 54%-45% for Romney.  Another future target in the south for Democrats.  

AL-02 actually shifts a point in Obama's direction at 63%-36% Romney.  Maybe Bright would try again.

Anybody else find any interesting findings?

Colorado 3 was much different back then. A lot of what is now in the 3rd was in the 4th district back then, represented by Wayne Aspinall. In fact the 4th at one point took in the entire western slope. The 3rd took in SE Colorado, the 2nd NE and the 1st Denver.

In 1964, due to OMOV, the 4th expanded eastward to take in some area from the overpopulated 2nd district. The 3rd was left largely intact. In 1971, when the state went up to five seats, the third and fourth were slightly inverted to become north south districts. The GOP areas from the 3rd were put in the new 5th district.

In 1981, the 3rd and fourth took its present forms and were rotated again with the 3rd being the western slope and the 4th being the eastern slope.
