Fun election map

The New York Times has a fun map about the elections here. Ignore the fact that it looks like lots of pregnancy tests all lined up. It's got a lot of fun facts to compare.

It shows the all the seats in the U.S. House of Representatives that swung the House to the Dems and the voting percentages from 2004 and 2006. You can also chart out things like income level and voting percentages for the presidential election.

One thing to notice - The Wisconsin 8th CD that was lost by John Gard had one of the largest swings. With the exception of the Pennsylvania 10th CD, Wisconsin's 8th CD is the bar the farthest to the right on the 2004 bar above the map. Yeah, that's right. The only seat that swung from farther on the right was a seat that had an incumbent try to choke his mistress. Nice work John Gard!
