"About the districts you list, however, while they may well be 58%+ Bush districts they were not 58%+ districts for those congressmen, with the exception of Sherwood, who has his unique issues. Rather, they were: a 49% district (Sodrel), a 53% district (Hostettler), a 54% district (Davis), and a 55% district (Taylor).



You're correct, of course, although it should be noted that Davis and Sodrel will now have the advantage of incumbency. Congressional Democrats traditionally run better in those districts than do most Democrat presidential candidates (although Clinton ran fairly well there), so the question is, e.g., "will Hostettler underperform Bush by 13% instead of by 9%?" and "will Taylor underperform Bush by 9% instead of by 3%?"; otherwise, they'll be reelected once again.

And yes, Sherwood has unique problems this election. We may have dodged the bullet, though, since Democrats didn't exactly run an A+ candidate there.
