Alaska Results Map by House District

Have a look at the shading on that. But yes, there was a biggish R swing here in 2000. Not quite sure why.

Does that take into account Nader's particularly strong result in Alaska, which almost certainly ate a lot of Gore support? And, while I was a bit too young to remember the 2000 campaign closely, I wonder if Gore's environmentalism also brought his support down.

If you compare to 2000, I don't think you discount the fact that Gore's terrible performance in the state was due in no small part to Nader's quite outstanding result. I would be curious to know how Gore+Nader in 2000 compares to other elections (the overall state result would be very close to 2008).
