Post interesting results (biggest victories, milestones, etc)

Who did and did not rely on the college towns, state capitals, and that sort of place?

Holt lost outside Mercer by around 8,000.
Hinchey lost by a little over 1,000 outside Tompkins and Dutchess, which are just fingers to Ithaca and Poughkeepsie.
Loebsack lost outside Johnson by about 3,000.
DeFazio lost outside Lane by around 8,000.

Dingell won even without Washtenaw, as I mentioned on the other thread.
Baldwin won very narrowly outside Dane.
Shuler narrowly (between 1000-2000) won outside Buncombe, which is not unimpressive.
ME-1 has a gazillion towns I haven't added up, but at least Pingree won outside Portland proper.

In PA, the way Lackawanna has held up for the Dems in contrast to the southwestern counties is kind of interesting.

Also, I continue to be mystified by DioGuardi's margin in Niagara County, in contrast to Schumer's. Elsewhere in western NY, there wasn't that much Paladino spillover into the senate races.

One January 4, 2011, you can drive:

1.  Across Pennsylvania on I-80 and never enter a Democratic district.

Given that the I-80 runs an almost entirely rural course across the north-central part of the state, this actually wouldn't be all that interesting even if it were true, which it isn't, since Jason Altmire is still with us.
